The Iranian Revolution of thirty years ago is now grinding to a halt. Islam has proven to be a brutal force to reckon with; yet the people will tolerate it no longer. Its time is up. The régime is coming to the end of its lifetime. It's drawing its last breath.
The mullahs and Basij (بسيج) can extend the life of the régime a little longer by the use of brute force; but in reality, they have come to the end of the life of the régime. The people can tolerate such brutality no longer. Common sense must prevail.
When the religio-political system falls, as it surely must, then the good people of Iran, the people who have culture and history, will be able to resume a more normal life – a life free of Islamic restrictions. The sooner this happens, the better. We can only look forward to that inevitable day. – © Mark
