I really don't see the Iranian wall - I think that Iran, like the Soviet Union, is rotting from within but, I don't see it taking nearly so long. If we are successful in Iraq - and self-government takes hold, Iran will follow in short order - the younger generation has already hd enough and all they need is a hint at the possibility of success and things will change. I heard this discussion played out earlier today on one of the news media and they also looked at the reconstruction of Japan - marveling at the wisdom of MacArthur in leaving Hirohito in power - at least as a figure head....this would never have worked in Iraq - leaving Saddam as anything other than a corpse will never bring closure to the Iraqi people.
