Thomas Friedman says the mullahs, and Iranian regime frontman Mahmoud Ahmadinejd, are in the same spot as the Shah circa 1979.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
