    There are only 469 days left in Ahmadinejad's final term.
    Not really worth starting WWIII over.
    The Green party protests in Iran, the largest protests in the history of the Islamic Republic,
    were the seminal moments in the "Arab Spring."
    I imagine progressives in Iran will feel even more empowered to pursue Liberty than they were
    three years ago. Also, while Iran was harsh on the protesters, only 72 were killed. Compared to
    Tiananmen square where the Chinese massacred up to 4,000. And in Syria where over 8,000 have
    already died. Perhaps the transition in Iran will not be so bloody. I hope not. A Transiton there is inevitable.
    But going to war in the last days of an ignorant holocaust denier is not wisdom. There are people
    right here in America who deny the holocaust. Is Israel going to threaten to go to war against us for it?
