July 7, 200917 yr This time it may have fissled out, but things are still hot there, so next time he makes a mistake, he may not be around to make another afterwards. In my opinion, what its done has set a precedent - the Iranian regime is now aware that it will have to deal with protests when they abuse their power and that is what has been lacking during the last 30 years (excluding the 1999 student protests). The people now know that their voices can and will be heard and they will be willing to get out onto the streets again and try to push for at least some change. No regime change (was never going to happen anyway) but it is still an important moment in Iran. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
