Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

All of this is for domestic consumption. The real people of Iran have been ignoring the mullahs for a very long time. Meanwhile the mullahs have used the oil income to have a 6 million standing army of brains washed suicide bombers, who will at a drop of a hat attack anywhere.

I agree, and hope you are right about the people of Iran ignoring the mullahs.

Reza Azlan has essentially said the same thing. Their president has been consolidating power for himself at an alarming pace though...

Lets not forget the heavy state censorship that Iran condones, showing a lot of fiery speeches done by religious extremists and zealots, while peaceful Iranians go unheard.
I'm really sad to see how shi'ism is interpreted in Iran.
But a counterbalance to the U.S. and Israel, they definitely are.

The US uses this "counterbalance" to remain in the area. What if my some magic there was peace in the area. What would the US do? I have always wanted to know the answer to that question?
My answer is that a lot of people lose. Can you imagine multinational organizations built upon the cheap energy costs and the central location of Iran. Do the "Generals" you know, GE and GM, or the multi-nationals really want another Japan or South Korea to take business away from them? This is the future of Iran.
We have 5 million Iranians abroad who are not the same as the 6 million Basij militia who have besieged the streets of Iran. If only Iran is given the chance to be governed by the best of Iran, then the world will be a better place. But the multinationals will lose out.
