#3 I remember the old Green Lantern had to report to the Guardian Council.

The Green Lanterns had replaced the Martian Manhunters as galactic cops.

Ahmadinejad might have been a lackey to one of the weaker supercriminals.

#5 It seems all that's needed to consign the Mullahcracy into the economic abyss is a serious collapse in crude prices. Commence drilling!

#6 In the old Roman empire, when a victorious general returned to receive a victory laurel from the Emperor, a slave was tasked to ride next to him in his chariot, as he passed through streets filled with adoring Romans.

The slave's duty was to, at intervals, whisper to the general the same thing:

"Thou art mortal."

This proved over time to be an excellent way of insuring that by the time the general reached the Emperor, he was humble enough to remember his place and not try to upstage his boss.

#7 Instead of waiting for parliament's next move, Ahmadinejad ignored both institutions and issued a decree ordering the merger of the institutions,

The Guardian Council may be the one that needs to be worried. Ahmadinejad may believe he doesn't need them.

#8 interesting point dodo. Ahmad would start purging if he could - so it will be interesting to see if he can.
