Ironies Of History II: Remember Pearl Harbor

OK! You did all this, then why isn’t the story over?


Student movements are signs of realities greater than themselves.


And that is indeed the point.  The regime is facing an enormous mass movement, not just a handful of intellectual kids.  The “enemies” of which the supreme leader speaks are all around him, and his closest allies are now making deals with the regime’s gravediggers, taking out insurance against the day when the Islamic Republic finally falls.  Khamenei hears their voices every night, calling from the rooftops. “Canons, guns, Basiji, prison, torture or execution; has no effect on us anymore.”

Remember Pearl Harbor.
