Might Iran’s University Students be About to Bring About Regime-Change There?

Iran’s President Ahmadinejad proved to be the toast of progressive students at Columbia University on his recent visit to the USA.

According to encouraging accounts in today’s newspapers of student riots in Iran against him, many progressive university students in that country would also like to toast their president too, despite their religious convictions precluding them from ever touching a drop of alcohol.

Certainly a student-led protest movement there would be a preferable and far less bloody way to effect much needed regime-change in Iran than military action. Sadly, however, it may well yet have to come to the latter option if all else fails to secure such change in the near future.
