Iran.

Like most people I've been reading a lot about the situation in Iran, but I've pretty much refrained from commenting on it, because I feel like it's important that the protesters are able to maintain their identity as Iranians, rather than becoming anything like a symbolic representation of Western democracy (through some weird system of co-opting that I can't really articulate).

But, anyway, why do I get the creeping sense of dread that this is not going to end well??
