#4 Propaganda on the part of the Mullahs Zens; The 'Iranian street' are quietly preparing for the worst by stockpiling groceries and supplies in their cellars and back rooms to the extent of a years worth! I would say that should a nuclear retaliatory strike by Israel began to spread from their city centers, the thought of radiation sickness and death related diseases would cause a nation wide panic abandoning the entrenched military, no matter how mobile the remaining 'troops' are. I see a scenario 1000 fold of what occured after the first Gulf War. You can order someone to fight; but you can't make that person walk into a frightening unknown and drop dead where you stand.

#5 Propaganda on the part of the Mullahs Zens

I'm well aware of that. It still beggars the question of just how pissed off the Iranian people are getting over their mullahs insistence that they all be thrown under the wheels when whatever festivities begin.

There remains a perception of residual Persian nationalism that deeply resents the Shi'ite interlopers who have commandeered Iranian religion, culture and wealth. Recent insurgencies among Iran's outlying provinces indicate that only the urban centers hold any concentration of those who really support the regime. It seems as though Iran's police state is required in order to contain the general population's growing restiveness.

Stillas with so much of the Muslim worldno one exhibits any strong inclination to begin stringing up the local morals police and other sundry government thugs that prey upon them.

The 'Iranian street' are quietly preparing for the worst by stockpiling groceries and supplies in their cellars and back rooms to the extent of a years worth!

You keep posting this but never respond to requests for a corroborating link.
Please do so.
