World War Z(Iran)

ARTICLE: Iran: Basij member describes election abuse, Channel 4, December 16, 2009

When the czar loses the allegiance of the Cossacks, further instability results. Do we witness, as my brother puts it, the emergence of a "zombie government" in Iran (dead but does not know it). As a historical reference, this one is certainly more current and easily understood than my preferred late-Brezhnevian USSR, but basically the same idea.

I wonder how many Americans are aware of that Czar anxiety factor, its need to 'please' clients, in a time when Russia's inability to transform and globalize lost broad public support ... resulted in a sequence of stupid positions and actions ... major factors leading to WW I .... and decades of negative global consequences. Oh Well, that old stuff is so BORING ;-)
