Iran Rising

I think it should be said that Iran could be in an explosive situation right now and it could go international.

As we see all over the world now with internet and instant global communications, the common man can find out what is going on in other countries, what is considered fair and what is not, and on the opposing side, the elite in power cannot hide their lust for power and the gangster methods they adopt to maintain power.

All of this spells a possible thundercrack with an angry mob who will not lie down, particularly in a religiously fuelled populus like the Middle East.

I hope I am wrong, but this could potentially be very serious.

"Even a Supreme Leader needs to understand that his power comes from the people, not himself. He violated Hannibal's first law: Never give an order that won't be obeyed. Leadership is a fragile illusion"
Observer, Beirut, Lebanon
