An Irrational Evil Empire

Michael Totten has a lot more here.

Could this be the beginning of the end of the mullahgarchy?  My heart would love to say yes, but my mind just doesn't believe it.  The only people on the planet rising up against the Iranian theocrats are the Iranian people themselves, and they do not and will never have any support whatsofreakingever from Barack Obama, who after all has not gotten the chance to get down on all fours and wait for his good, close, personal friend Adolph The Younger to extend the appendage of friendship.

Michael Rubin's scenario seems much more likely:

The danger, however, is that if the regime ever collapses under its own weight, the ideologues who would have custody over the nuclear program might decide to launch, figuring both that they’re not long for the world anyway and so have nothing to lose, and also assuming that neither Israel nor the West would retaliate against Iran when the perpetrators of the launch were already gone from power.

Ahmadinjad's "re-election" eliminates any fading, fleeting chance that might have still existed - and which readers of this site know I dismissed years ago - of averting a nuclear war in the Middle East.  It will now be a question of who strikes first.  And the Israelis, who dare not wait to do everything they can to take out Iran's nuclear facilities, and in a matter of no small irony itself, also have little to lose by acting "unilaterally" since their former ally, the United States, has, under the demonic leadership of Barack Hussein Obama (as evidenced by his Cairo Manifesto), turned as bellicosely against them as Europe (at the very least) and even Iran itself.

Looks like that 3AM phone call Mrs. Clinton spoke of a year and change ago will be ringy-dingying in the very near future.  Question is, what will False Messiah do when matters have moved beyond pumping the air full of empty, useless words?
