 From StrategyPage: July 18, 2007: The Iranian government is losing control of its security forces and secret police.

| #5 Once again the irony sets in. In Japan prior to and during WWII, the Bushido code was such that a subordinate could overrule a superior if the junior wanted to immediately and foolishly attack, and usually against overwhelming odds. An unsuccessful suicide attack was even seen as more macho than a methodical plan that succeeded. This resulted in a lot fewer believers in Bushido. The bottom line is that the Iranian subordinates will not rebel against the Mullahs, but will want to show up their direct superiors by demonstrating greater "piss and curl papers." What do you care that the Captain tells you to wait. Allah himself has told you to attack now! |

| #3 "..Islamic radicals increasingly refuse to obey orders from the top, claiming God has commanded them to do otherwise." Actually, God would probably outrank the top Mullah, unless of course he had the President the other Mullahs on his side. |

| #2 Thusly arises one of the principal problems with theocratic governance. When the word of God commands all, which voices in whose head are we supposed to listen to? |
