That's the case in any revolution.
There are no guarantees

This is what annoys me. Let's leave conspiracy out of this for a second, but if we're in Iraq to help them gain their freedom because it's the right thing to do. Then what about Iran? How can we sit by and watch this unfold without taking action? I know it's not realistic but imo if we (the US) are going to push for freedom and democracy it should be across the board, we help everyone in the situation that Iran is faced with or no one. Picking and choosing what oppressed people we help seems wrong to me.

If this already being discussed in this thread I appologize I haven't read it yet but will go over it now. I just needed to get that off my chest.

The incumbernt President won by a huge margin when every poll predicted either a close race or even an opposition victory.

You couple that with a general current of discontent and a few bad moves by the ruling religious elite and the anger builds and spreads.

US urges Iran to end 'violence'
US President Barack Obama has warned Iran to stop all "unjust action against its own people", after another day of protests over the presidential poll.

Witnesses said security forces used batons and live ammunition in clashes with protesters, who had gathered in defiance of the country's leader.

I'm glad he has spoken those words, but what does warn mean? Getting a UN resolution? But Russia would never accept condemning an ally. We know Russia supports this regime, I hope Russia won't defend them militarily as well. It's all a mess.

This looks like a civil war.
Where is Obama?
Is he hiding under his desk eating ice cream?
He needs to promote democracy.
I heard they didn't even bother to stuff the ballot box over there.
They just declared the winner.

Iran police clash with defiant protestors
TEHRAN (AFP) — Tehran was tense after thousands clashed with police, defying an ultimatum from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for an end to protests over disputed presidential elections.

At least one person was wounded when shots rang out, a witness told AFP after Saturday's rally which, like other opposition protests over the past week, was off-limits to the foreign media.

A suicide bomber meanwhile struck a key regime monument -- the south Tehran mausoleum of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini -- killing himself and wounding three people, two of them foreigners, state media reported.

It is unlikely that Al Queda would have any influence in Iranian internal politics


True...i'm not saying they are...i'm just saying it's possible. If we are able to infiltrate countries and create coups...as we did in Iran...then it is possible.

Imagine if our country's government was suddenly overthrown...how would everything keep running? Who would be making the decisions as new leadership was coming through? How vulnerable would our national security be?

It can't be an easy transition and is just as easily corrupted as all governments are...after all...man always craves power.
