Freedom Iranian Style - For Now

The regime in Tehran is really starting to feel the heat. They now have the scooter thugs out riding around destroying sattelite dishes and either beating or fining the owners.

As the protests continue and as the pressure continues to mount on the regime, I expect to see more of these types of heavy handed "enforcement actions." They indicate an attempt to regain control through terror. The problem that the clerics will have is that the current spotlight that is on them, along with the US military threat to the north and west, will restrict their ability to bring down the hammer like they need to.

The desperation of the regime is growing by the day. The US needs to find a way to quietly support the protestors. A revolution against the revolution will only serve to ultimately improve the security and stability of the Middle East.
