Civil Unrest in a Dictatorship
Message to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, and (alleged) President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Stop blaming the West in general and the U.S. in particular for news leaks from your dictatorial country. With the age of the World Wide Web, Twitter, Facebook, mobile phones, etc, etc, you can't possibly be stupid enough to think you're going to keep your country's civil unrest to yourselves. You both preside over an oppressive regime that has absolutely no regard for the freedom, liberty and individual rights of its citizens. It's only a matter of time before the people in countries like yours rise up and demand to be given what is theirs. This could well be the beginning of a great revolution. Run now but don't worry. The French will give you refuge.
