My only quibble was with this statement:

. The popular demonstrations are to mark the 96th anniversary of the constitutional monarchy and, so far as one can tell from the patchy reports, it sounds more like Hungary 1956 than Czechoslovakia 1989.

Since he states the reports to be sketchy he is free to characterize them anyway he wishes. Which is ok. The implication could be drawn that the resistance to the regime is too weak to be sustained. But you are right, his comment about the Arab thuggo's does indicate the mullahs days are, ultimately, numbered. I guess I'm being picky and making "angel's on the head of a pin" arguments here, so I'll stop. :o} Don't want to take away from the overall admiration I have for the piece.
