The Ebb and Flow of a reformation
This week we saw much decreased activities in Iran compared to the previous week. Sometime it is hard to notice that this process has been underway only for two weeks. The countinous stream of pictures, words and sounds from the event all make it seems longer that it has been.
If we were going to score this event, we would give it 1 - 1. The first week belong to opposition and the second week belongs to Dinner Jacket's and Khamenei.
This by no means over.
The state has effectively used brutal tactics to prevent gathering of large numbers of people at any cost. Remember that these tasks are not easy for them as well. The constant tensions and agitations are surely draining the ability of the regime to manage its affairs.
There are still a lot of activities in the background to reach a compromise. If we do not see the result next week, we will probably not see any compromise in this phase of agitation.
Before this event, there has always been an argument about Iran as a rational actor in its continous effort to have nuclear weapon. At this point, that point of argument is pretty much dead in the negotiation table. The current regime is not rational.
