Maybe I just don’t understand Persians.

But if I were an Iranian right now, the first thing I’d be thinking to do would be to sidle up to my local mullah and give him a second ear-to-ear smile. And hope the example would get around to other people and give them the same idea.
The solution to the problem right now seems to be to boot their religious “leaders” out of power. And it’s starting to look like the religious leaders don’t control the army very well — which is not particularly surprising to me. Thirty years of turnover in the Iranian military has produced less-than-revolutionary soldiers who really don’t want to fire on their own people.
The Iranian people could do all this themselves. All they need is encouragement from outside (and maybe a big airdrop of AK’s, ammo, hand grenades, and other assorted toys).
Somebody just needs to take that first step.
