I might be able to spare some emotional space to admire the Iran protesters if my feelings weren't so overwhelmed today by a sense of horror and foreboding.

This mess in Iran could easily spin out of control. The US currently has many troops in two neighboring countries. And there are four countries with nuclear weapons right in Iran's neighborhood.

When the French had a revolution, it resulted in years of internal terror, followed by an attempted military conquest of much of Europe. The last time the Iranians had a revolution, the results were profound.

I know many of these protesters sincerely believe they were ripped off. But since we will probably never know what actually happened in the election, who can say?

I did some figuring using some admittedly wildly optimistic parameters and came up with the following result:

Number of votes cast = 35,000,000

Number of votes counted and tabulated by a single counter per hour = 360

Number of hours elapsed from end of election until final results were announced = 12.

Number of vote counters required to correlate with the above = (approximately) 8,100,000.

Are the people in Iran the only ones who can do simple math? This shit should be going viral!

And tbeir leader is fighting

And tbeir leader is fighting and willing to be made a martyr...

I look at that and think when the american people have the will... they will get single payer healthcare. We have bought into our own helplessness/powerlessness for too long... too easily manipulated by comfort and fear...

To the people of Iran!
