Robert Spencer Pamgeller. There is no way to tell now what will be the outcome of the massive protests that are sweeping Iran, but that they are undeniably momentous, despite the cavalier treatment they have received from the establishment media in the West. They have already led to the Tehran Police announcing that they will no longer enforce the dress codes for women that were imposed after the Islamic Revolution of , and more could be coming, including the downfall of the Islamic regime itself — although the mullahs are mobilizing their military , and will not go down without a fight.
Whatever happens next, what has already happened is extraordinary. In chanting this, the protesters are emphasizing that they do not want an Islamic Republic, and demonstrating yet again that these protests are not just about government corruption or food prices.
One thing is certain: these demonstrations would already be over, and may never have begun, if Hillary Clinton were President of the United States right now. Confronted with those demonstrations that did not go as far or demand as much, Barack Obama betrayed the demonstrators to every grisly fate that the mullahs could devise for them in their torture chambers. What a difference a presidential election makes.
The world is watching! Clinton, Bush, and Obama all spoke about Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, but backed off from recognizing the fact as official U. Trump, by contrast, grasped the nettle, just as he has done so in confronting an establishment media bent on discrediting and destroying him, and a Democrat and Republic political establishment determined to do the same thing.
He is a rare man of courage, and courage is inspiring. The Iranians who are risking their freedom and their very lives to stand up also against violent intimidation and take to the streets all over Iran the last few days are likewise manifesting immense courage, such that the world rarely sees these days.
