1. Powerful videos....

This is what a society looks like after being subjegated by religious fundementalism for 40+ years. Iran has never bought the extremist religious bullshit that has kept them from joining the 21st century.

4. are you joking?

The Shah was so bad that theocracy seemed a viable alternative in the late '70s...

How about none of the above?

6. When bricks and stones start to fly off roofs into police formations.

we'll know they've stopped asking for change and are now demanding it.

That will happen about the time women simply stop wearing the veil in the cities, daring the cops to lock them all up. When massed cops and military start attacking enough mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives, the brickbats will start flying and that's when those mullahs will decamp for exile in Afghanistan.

And that is when change will be possible.

I wish them all luck, whatever happens.

7. Such Brave Young Women

That could be us someday if the religious right isn’t stopped. So many young women think that it can’t happen here - but it can and it’s already started.
