Recent events like the killing of five Revolutionary Guards is making me wonder if another revolution is imminent in Iran. Iran has a history of revolution, and a history of corruption that causes it. Young and old Iranians alike have raised concerns about the validity of the last election, and it seems quite feasible to say that a coup is possible.
You reap what you sow, and President Ahmadinejad of Iran has definitely sowed hatred, violence, corruption and intolerance, now he's getting what he deserves. Iran has only very briefly experienced a democracy that exemplified democratic ideals, and hopefully that will change in the near future, either by revolution or Constitutional limitations such as term limits.
Iran has, for far too long, been a sponsor of radical groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. This can't continue and hopefully won't if a coup takes place. Iran is, I'm sure, a nice place. The majority of the Iranian people are, I'm sure great people. The regime, however, is not a nice thing-it is an ugly beast that sooner or later will cause big problems for the United States, and probably for the entirety of free people.
Iran is a state sponsor of radical Islam, that can not be disputed, and it can't be ignored. If revolution takes place in Iran, that's great let's just hope that a big evil doesn't replace a small evil. While it's tough for me to imagine something worse in Iran than what they currently have, I recognize that anything is possible.
