  1. Michael Merritt Moe, I've tried to explain how I see the situation, which you seem to recognize. The lack in popularity (which admittedly may have been trumped up in our media, but I don't know for sure) over the failing economy. I pointed out how it's affected elections in other countries and supranationals (U.S., U.K. and E.U.). Surely it's had an effect in Iran as well, and perhaps more pronounced. As for the protesters, I've seen reports of over between 100,000 and a million, but I could accept that there's some bloating of them by those with agendas. Going to write another post on this tonight.
