Iranian Democracy? No That is Not an Oxymoron

Holy crap, the Mullah's better watch their back because the "Green Revolution" might just sweep them out of power.

The slogans of the protestors are no longer about election fraud. Today they include "Death to the Dictator," "Freedom Now," and "Iranian Republic, Not Islamic Republic!" One slogan is a direct message to President Barack Obama: "Obama, Are You With Us or With Them?"

In short, the protestors no longer regard the present regime as the legitimate government of the country.

Hmm, I think Obama should make a real gamble and throw in 100% with these protestors. I mean worse case scenario is you have Iranian officials stone-walling you on Iranian nukes (as if they weren't already) and best case scenario is the government falls and an Iranian democracy agrees to nuclear terms. Bush pacified and enemy by force and Obama would pacify an enemy with words. Now that would be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
