A most interesting reflection in a tweet from Iran: maybe we should have separation of church and state like the Americans. If the young people who are 2/3 of the population are daring to think like this, the long range future of Iran looks promising. It's the immediate view that may get bloody, as soon as tomorrow. This is almost like a game of chicken. Who gives in?
The greater the numbers on the street, the greater the courgage, the greater the chance of success for the reformers. Already brave beyond recent precedent, especially the Iranian women, they still need to reach deep and stand up for their rights. I hope they can, which is easy to say from afar, safe in Starbucks uploading video. I remember from the sixties how scary street violence and chaos can become. Tomorrow will reveal much.
