Iran has issued a sharp rebuke to the United Stated and Britain for “meddling” in election affairs as the country continues to be rocked by violence and conflict following the presidential election. President Obama, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, warned on Saturday that “the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” He also called on Iran to stop the violence and unjust actions against its people.  Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., says Obama still has not gone far enough and that he needs to address the Iranian and American people about the crisis.

One of President Obama’s favorite words is “unsustainable.” It also happens to be the perfect description of his standing with the American people.

The ayatollahs in charge of the “revolution” and the top commanders of the Revolutionary Guards as well as their financial operatives fear a popular shift inside Iran’s population along the magnitude of East Europe’s revolution against Soviet rule. The most cataclysmic parallel would be with the fall of Romanian communist dictatorship under Ceausescu. Even a change a la Gorbachev is too dangerous for the elite that ruled Iran with an iron fist for three decades. Hence, after a minute calculus, the top mullahs and their militia barons have decided not to open Pandora’s box to bring reform or democracy to their own world.  And, the world should expect them to use all the power at their disposal to do away with the demonstrations and its leaders.

But how will the Khomeinist “war room” break up the uprising? What is their plan?
