In protest

Since I can get a little overheated (angry, even) when I talk about politics, it's a subject I try to avoid in conversation, and also on this blog. But I figure my opinions about Iran right now are not going to appear controversial to anyone that isn't in the ruling party in Iran, so it seems safe to link to this article by Whitworth professor Patrick Van Inwegen. The article explains how the people's non-cooperation with the results of the recent presidential election will ultimately force the Iranian government down one of two paths, the more likely of which is cooperation with the opposition. It's pretty short, and I think you'll like it!
