Jeff Jacoby is critical of Obama's restrained rhetoric on the events in Iran.

Amir Taheri, as always, has the details on why the protests are happening, who makes up the different factions, and why this might just lead to real change in Iran.

An offer by the regime to hold a recount does not seem to be appeasing the protesters in Iran. Again, I expect a bloody crackdown, unless the military and security forces are themselves divided, which means there could be clashes between them if a crackdown is ordered.

In the final analysis, we could be seeing the beginning of a true revolution in Iran, along the lines of the unrest that overturned the Communist governments of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, or a spasm of discontent that subsides, or one that is choked off by the ruling elite. I'm not sure anyone, here or there, really knows how it will all turn out.
