Iran Slaughter Central

The massacre of freedom lovers continues in Iran though the coverage of the barbarity has been largely supplanted by news of a deeply troubled singer's passing. Protesters are being beaten, hacked with axes, and shot dead. The theocratic elite and the thugs who keep them in power have gone after the brightest and best in Iran. The young, technologically-savvy, educated, and professional classes, who are exactly the elements Iran needs to take her into the future, are under assault. Persia, a cradle of civilization, one of the great empire-nations, has been brought low by a few hundred clerics who hold sway over the majority of decent Iranians with a cadre of morons with chains, guns, and axes, and disturbingly, enough nuclear experts to make Iran an international menace. A bunch of zealots, backed by brutes, have subdued their own nation too long and can not be allowed to create weapons to make them the hegemon of the Near East.
