You Say You Want A Revolution, Well You Know...

...Allahu Akbar!

In sharp contrast to any stories about Ninja Bond Counterfitters escaping to Switzerland to Assassinate Jason Borne, the Almost Just A Little Bit Further 2nd Iranian Revolution has not exactly gone unnoticed by the various news-media outlets of the world. But if you're anything like me, you'll never get tired of watching video after grainy video of angry Iranians burning police motorcycles and screaming at assholes with beards.

The first video is of that sort, though it gets into how this Revolution is so Web 2.0. I never thought I'd see Twitter make a valuable contribution of any sort to the world, but there you go.



The second video gets into what the face-off between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi actually represents in real political terms. There seem to be a divergence in opinion in the U.S. when it comes to understanding Iran's de-facto political structure. On the one hand, we have the neoconservative's who claimed in 2005 that with Ahmadinejad's election innevitably will come Israel's nuclear holocaust lest the Bush administration mercifully and preemptively start dropping the bombs. But on the other hand and in virulent opposition, we have the neoconservatives who claimed in claimed in 2009 that Ahmadinejad's potentially fraudulent re-election meant absolutely nothing since, even if Mousavi were to somehow be handed the Presidency, the Guardian Council is the true source of power in Iran and with the power in their hands innevitably will come Israel's nuclear holocaust lest the Obama administration mercifully and preemptively but probably still insufficiently and without enough tax cuts since he was born in Kenya anyway start dropping the bombs. But this video gets into the nitty gritty.
