Bing tells us: “The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old and formed along with rest of solar system. The Milky Way galaxy that contains the solar system probably formed around 13.6 billion years ago. The universe is calculated to be about 13.7 billion years old, dating from the Big Bang.” (Encarta Encyclopedia)
So, taking the long view, the Islamic Republic of Iran, established on April 1, 1979, is a small point in the timeline of Earth. Friday’s vote could well have been the last day of that republic, regardless of what happens over the next few days or months or years.
The ruling theocrats have lost the support of too many of the people. The thugs might well get the upper hand for the time being, but, like the Chinese Tienanman Square democratic movement, the movement towards a more progressive and democratic Iran is inevitable.
Good luck to the people of Iran.
Bad cess to politically inclined theologians.
Trust, but verify.
