O’s first few comments were of the same as Keller’s –a refusal to be gamed that amounts to being so utterly –and willingly –gamed that it’s like water to a fish. Fish: “Waddaya mean, ‘I’m all wet’?”

it’s the quislings, the 5th columnists, the back stabbing neighbors that screw it all up in exchange for favours from the elite. this article has really piqued my interest in how that process was dragged out for 70 years under soviet communism.

I am passionate about politics, Ive watched a parade of leadership come and go in this country Canada and across the globe.

I look forward to learning how purges happen and why.

the present Iranian leadership is DOOMED. they have drawn blood on the OWN people this time, not just thousands in human waves against Iraq. how will the Americans screw up their involvement this time in pursuit of short term goals? it may take another ayatollah and another president but Iran is in for another revolution.

remember, the bolsheviks first tried in 1905 but didn’t ‘succeed’ until 1917.

But it also appears that the rank and file of the country are outraged, too. The have seen with their own eyes the difference between Sistani’s “Najaf” school of Shia thought compared to the Qom school of more militant Government -religious connection (fostered by Ayatollah Khomeini). The echoes of the diplacement of Baathist Iraq as one bogeyman, and the replacement by the Great Satan on both the Easter and Western borders of the Islamic Republic for almost 7 years, has given pause for thought.
After endless provocations, the US has not invaded or made war on Iran. The fear that holds Iran together may be fraying at the edges.

Seriously, I am very worried about our own society right now. I realize that Obama’s poll numbers are now showing a bit of weakness, and that underneath his personal popularity the polls are showing strong disapproval of his policies – still, he has a strong base of support among the elites of the West. His fundraising proved that fact. And there are a fair number of people out there who believe the government should confiscate and redistribute.

So, we are on a collision course with the collectivists. Question is, who is going to arise among them to stiffen their spines to actually do terrible things in order to make the socialist utopia happen?

Plenty of places have thrown off the yoke of fundamentalist Islam. For a time. Until a new batch of Mullahs showed up with enough force to reclaim the place. Seems there is an idea within the religion that any place that was once a part of the religion must be again.

I wonder if the Georgians and Ukranians would have any comment on the phenomenon?

An Egyptian guy found out that the baby picture was taken out of this Pal video
