by Summary:
While the hard-hit Iranian economy is likely to continue reeling, driving more protesters into the streets, one shouldn’t mistake their pain for a desire to subject themselves to a totalitarian cult with hardly a fraction of the support enjoyed by the Shia clergy helming the Islamic Republic. Remember Ahmed Chalabi and the Iraqi government in exile that was supposed to lead "democratize Iraq" after the fall of Saddam? You don't? Because it never got off the ground. A similar plan is being hatched for Iran and the outcome will be the same — abject failure owing to magical thinking. In fact, it is even worse. The US is relying on MEK, until recently declared a terrorist organization, along with some cronies of the despotic shah. At least Chalabi was only accused of financial
