An important anniversary.
More protests in Iran today. Grim. Haven't heard from my Twitter source recently. Don't know if he's still alive or free.
The reviled "Neo-Con" who wrote the first post linked above, Michael Ledeen, advocated non-military support for democratic groups within Iran rather than war with Iraq after 9/11. He believed that the Iranian regime was a bigger threat to the world than Saddam Hussein. Turns out Saddam Hussein convinced his own advisors, along with most of the rest of the world, that he possessed working WMD because he was afraid of Iran, too.
Update: A faint glimmer of hope.
