Iranian elections

Imagine, massive political rallies, completely peaceful. A citizenry that wants to oust hard-line conservatives, religious extremism and political rhetoric in favor of peace with the US and prosperity for themselves. A desire for democracy where we're told, by our own mass media, that military options are the best options because of religion.

The (still freshly ousted) neo-conservatives in the US must be beside themselves with anger. They had been beating the drums of war for so long that they must have felt that they could taste the profits that would come from destroying and "rebuilding" another oil-rich country. Now, however, their grand, long-range plans may come to ruin with open and honest dialog threatening to take over US/Iran relations, replacing saber rattling with peace.
