The Stark Reality in Iran

The Times: Reports on the political reality in Iran, the State has the Armed Forces and the Internal Police, what does the opposition have, the people. This is why President Obama could be right in his tepid reaction, at the end of the day the people of Iran might find themselves repressed under a brutal Islamic regime and the West has to deal with the reality of that regime with nuclear arms. Also there is a difference between a revolution and a change of faces at the top, the people might want better relationship with the West and more freedoms but their leaders are from the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Thus the real revolution in Iran might have to come later and the opposition will have to arm up, its brutal but that simple. Thus my prediction, I agree with Obama at the most basic political reality, this might not be the time, might be wrong, hope this post is wrong but have my doubts. The youth of Iran have stated their need for freedom but freedom comes at a cost, you sometimes have to fight not with just words but with weapons, so far don’t see the opposition with any tanks, when the arm up Obama’s tone might change, its up to the people of Iran.
