Last Call

While the Iranian protests have never really left us this year, the crackdown this weekend in Tehran has been the worst in months, and as Spencer Ackerman notes as the Iranian protesters are likening the Ayatollah to the unfaithful Muslim ruler Yazid:

I don’t know how long it’ll take, but a theocracy that the faithful equate with the man whose iniquity ultimately prompted the creation of Shiism is doomed.

In a Shi'ite nation, absolutely.  It's like comparing a Western leader to Judas Iscariot.
