Iran: Thursday, Friday, Saturday

THREE DAYS OF SHOWDOWN?

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

-John F. Kennedy


Wednesday will exhaust the 10-day constitutional period for the Guards to review & certify the election results.

Thursday, the freedom fighters will attempt a public show of solidarity for mourning, ahead of Friday prayers. They will go, reportedly, to the great Imam Kohmenei shrine (!).

Friday, Khamenei will be at prayers, shredding the Iranian constitution and the social pact, once more, no doubt.

That is, he will do so, barring a forced compromise in Qom (it's hard to know why one hasn't emerged already, except that Mullahs talk with the speed of Ents).

Saturday may be the backlash to the tyrant Khamenei, once again.

The threats, today, from the Revolutionary Guard (a.k.a. a religious leader's personal army), look like classic response to, say, prisoners threatening their guards/masters/overlords/captors: escalation of violence, in a desperate effort to maintain "roles" or perceived "control".
