I interrupt this post for a prediction... When the Iranian mullahcracy is finally brought down (let's hope soon), its monetary relations will be revealed to be at least as corrupt as the Iraqi/Un Oil-For-Food Program.
It seems likely.
UPDATE: Just added the picture to the right, from the French Embassy protests in Washington about a year ago. It just seemed, well, generally appropriate.
I should also note that I prefer the term "mullarchy" for the Iranian political scene, since it's shorter, and has the advantage of rhyming, more or less, with "malarkey." It seems to be catching on.
