Civil War Brewing in Iran 

KansasCity.com - The Kansas City Star, breaking local news, sports, entertainment, business: "With negotiations hopelessly stalled, most reformers say they no longer have a choice but to stand up the 12-man council. Among the options being weighed by Khatami and his ministers are postponing the elections or including the names of the 2,450 blacklisted candidates on the ballots.

Either action would directly contravene orders from the council and lead to a crisis of political control."

Keep watching this, there is a possible revolution brewing in Iran; if it turns into a direct struggle between the president and his moderates and the theocrats, who apparently have decided to try to break the moderates once and for all, there may be drastic political upheaval in Iran. I hope that secular government comes to Iran, but I don't think that'll occur without many dying in the streets.
