Praise Allah. . .

A leading nuclear physicist was assassinated today in Iran. Please give me a moment to mourn. . .

Boo freaking hoo.

Ok, moving along. . .

I've been wondering when the resistance movement in Iran was going to transition from relatively peaceful protesting (peaceful on their part anyway until regime thugs and police arrive) to violence and retaliation against the oppressive Islamic (redundant?) regime. In reality, I suppose this is a natural progression for peaceful activists who are being slain in the streets each day and let me be one of the first to say that it's about time.

The only thing the leaders of Iran will respond to is violence. Their holy book, of which I hold in no high regard, is filled with justifications of violence against the weak and powerless. Karma is a bitch, ain't it Mahmoud? Unfortunately, more lives will be lost on the good side of this fight, especially since our own weakly-constituted leader is unwilling to stick his neck out for anyone but himself. . .and Harry Reid. And a racist law professor.

The speculation, or more realistically, the propaganda from Iran is that this explosion has the markings of an Israeli Massod attack, and if so, then I hope that this escalation in tension stokes the final fire between Israel, the United States and Iran. Not to mention the countless squirrely underground and not-so-underground proxy armies Iran has in the Middle East. Maybe the time has come to settle the score once and for all with all of these lunatic and ass-backward, 5th century, hell holes.

Judgement day is coming and it will be harsh.
