Are things going better in Iraq?

As far as I can tell Saddam is no longer bribing the French. That sounds like a double win to me.

It also looks like the Iraqis have a chance for a better life. Under Saddam no chance. Of course Sunni fortunes are down and they complain bitterly. Most unfortunate.

Iran is in such bad shape that a little push could make that government fall. Heard about all the street protests there lately?

Try Gateway Pundit and Regime Change Iran.

It looks to me a lot like the situation before the fall of the Shah. For whatever reason the government like the Shah's has lost its nerve.

Here is a link to an article on Iran's economic situation with links to sources and other articles. They need a war as soon as possible to keep things together. Evidently whatever we do will be on our schedule, not theirs.
