If You Live Long Enough, And Remain Patient....

... you get to see the thugs that took over Iran confronted in the streets by a young populace that is fed up with rule by the mullahs.

For those of us who agonized through 1979's hostage crisis, this is really, really sweet.

The BBC points us to Tehran 24, updating news from the streets.

Maybe, with a million mobile devices uploading images to the rest of the world, the goons that run Iran won't be able to crush this uprising as the Chinese government did in Tiennamen Square in 1989. Those brave reformers only had fax machines, a few phones, and film to smuggle out. The true story there may never be known.

Here's wishing the young people of Tehran well.
