The Morning Rant: The Fall Of Iran?

How many times have we heard that the Mad Mullahs are teetering on the brink, and will be driven out of Iran by THE PEOPLE?

And how many times have we been disappointed?

Sure, Obama had a lot to do with the failure of The Green Movement in 2009, and his convenient $400,000,000 payoff to the Mullahs in 2016 probably helped them retain power. And of course the Grand Poobahs of the EU have no particular interest in a free Iranian people when the Mullahs are buying their technology and selling them oil. And let us not forget the desire of the Bien Pensants for a powerful Iran as a counterbalance to those filthy Jews in Israel. No matter that Iran also funds terrorism throughout the world and is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents, and indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands more. Oh, they have their pet resistance movements, in particular the NCRI, whose leader wears a hijab! Amazing that it is the symbol of repression in Iran, but Europe loves them some hijabs, so...

In a sane world there would be an armored column driving toward Tehran while the air was filled with bombs destroying every nuclear and security facility in Iran. And the world would have driven Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and their Iraqi proxies out of their stolen countries.

But we don't live in a sane world that values self determination and freedom. So expecting the Iranian people to be successful in their desire to free themselves from the vile, murderous Mullahs without Western help is long on hope and short on reality.

Iranian protesters clash with security forces as tear gas fills Tehran streets amid nationwide unrest

Protests escalated across Iran on Monday as demonstrators confronted security forces in Tehran and Mashhad, with authorities deploying tear gas amid strikes and street clashes, according to reports.

An Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, reported that a large crowd of demonstrators marched along Jomhouri (Republic) Street before moving into nearby areas, including Naser Khosrow Street and Istanbul Square in Tehran.

With Trump's and America's support, unlike in years past, it is possible that the Iranian -- or perhaps we should call them Persian -- people will have the opportunity to do what they could not do since the heady few months after the fall of the Shah. And Iran is weaker than it has been in a very long time, with Israel destroying Iranian proxies on its borders, and carefully creating security bulwarks against Iran.

But they still have to deal with the comprehensive internal security apparatus that the Mullahs have assiduously created over the last 45 years. It is brutal, cruel, and all-encompassing, and unless the collapse occurs very rapidly (see: Romania), there is the possibility of horrendous death and destruction as the Mullahs lash out against their subjects.

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson will be despondent if the Mullahs fall, but that might be the best part of the whole thing!
