Iran's Unpardonable and Unpardoned Incompetence Exposes Same in America's Ruling Class
[AmGreatness] Our ruling class’s judgment that America’s killing of terror master Qassem Soleimani united Iran’s people behind its regime is characteristic of their incompetence. Instead, because the Islamic Republic’s armed forces incompetently shot down an airliner full of students as the mullahs were engaged in the pseudo-sophisticated pretense of retaliation against the United States, and because they incredibly denied having done so, growing domestic protests are placing the regime in jeopardy. As Iranians shout for the Islamic Republic’s end as never before, the state’s media are reporting more honestly than ever, and fewer partisans than ever are supporting the regime.The lesson? Human beings can tolerate almost anything from rulers except demonstrations of incompetence. Habits of obedience, the majesty of office, the lure of patronage, as well as repression, powerfully shield any ruling class. The Islamic Republic had promised its people that religious scholars would rule righteously. Instead, the mullahs delivered corruption, privation, and endless war. Posted by: 746 2020-01-22 |
