RALLIES PLANNED, CRACKDOWN EXPECTED IN TEHRAN TODAY


This is it. The line has been drawn in the sand. It's the fundamentalist leadership and the military against the Twitter Generation. This stare down could turn into a good old fashioned million person barroom brawl. The spurpeme leader Ali Khameni has stated that protesters will be dealt with if they continue their act into Saturday. Well it's Saturday now. No signs of backing down are apaprent. Another protest is scheduled for today. This could be the biggest day of 2009 as far as the international political landscape goes. Or it could peter out into nothing. TJ is predicting a standoff, then a melee. It just doesn't seem that those opposed to the leadership are finished making their point while the leadership is now poised to show that they run the country. Here's to the safety of all those involved on both sides. Let's all hope TJ is wrong and cooler heads prevail.
