#1 and these hard-line troops are in addition to the "foreigners" (read Arabs) brought in to whack the students and other protesters? Sounds like another step on the road to a secular Iran... would be nice to see Iran occupied with internal dissent enough that IDF could pave hezbollah and the bekaa

#3 There is an interesting article in today's Daily Telegraph about the arrest and trail of 3 Gallup affiliated pollsters in Iran who found that 75% of those polled want better relations with the USA. Polling and publishing anything positive about the "great satan" is against Iranian policy. I recommend anyone to the article's accompanying photo which shows the 3 pollsters in common Iranian jail wear (more like cheap pjs) standing next to the 'judge' with thes wry and sardonic grins and posture.

#4 The creaking noise you hear is a domino rocking, slowly, back and forth.

Six months, tops.
