<<Hey, hoz about those crowds in Iraq?>> You mean the ones crying for water, electricity, food and shelter? Uhm, let me think: Next they will be asking for hospitals, schools and jobs.

.Iran is gonna fall of it's own weight as the Iranian people see a secular government in action in Iraq I agree. No need for war there, and they aren't paper tigers. Interestingly a while back I posted (can't find it now) where a moderate cleric was supporting women's demands for equal 'blood money'. Apparently for some transgressions causing death the perpetrator could buy his / her way out of trouble by paying the victim's family a certain prescribed sum. Seems that since women make up fully half the work force there and not just menial jobs (one of the few good things about the Shah was women had greater freedom) they want equal recompense for their deaths ie. blood money. I guess it's a start ;o) regards Kastel

Iran won't fall. It will be reformed from within. The writing is on the wall already with academic clerics talking about religious reformation. That is called self-determination. But many countries won't be left in peace albeit not having something the US want to steal from them. There will always be some bad guy somewhere, you know the story... One day the US will tell the Pope to leave the Vatican on 48 hours or risk a war :-) By the them Homeland security will force US citizen to travelling in Humvee instead on SUV's. Like the Brazilians are joking: Can a volunteer woman do a humanitarian blow job in George Bush? At least the other guy got his from an intern and was not beligerant.
