POPSDeath Toll Rises to 10 as Clashes in Iran Intensify of the protests so far. The Shah’s forces never fired on protesters during Ashura, wary of violating the day’s sanctity. Obama Silent as Iranians Die for Freedom Iranian youth no longer chant “death to America.” Now they shout “death to the dictators” as they trample photos of Iran’s Supreme Leader. They also chant “Obama are you with us or with them ?” The reaction from the White House to the latest violence and the calls for recognition of the freedom movement? Silence. Once again, Obama doesn’t want to rock the boat with his hopes for a deal with the mad Mullahs who hold the Iranian people hostage to their warped ideology. Why won’t Obama adopt Reagan’s successful Cold War winning strategy? Because he was raised by a cadre of leftists who despised Reagan and resented the application of U.S. power especially when it was aimed at the Soviet Union with which many of Obama’s mentors and family had great sympathy.

POPSRiots in Iran If the last paragraph I excerpted pans out into more than "scattered reports," then the theocracy will be on its last legs. Fraternization of the forces of order with the people they're supposed to be putting in order has been the death-knell of regimes from that of Louis XV to Czar Nicholas II to East Germany (1989).

POPSIran Police Clash With Protesters Activists in Turkey say the Opposition used other methods to coordinate this protest, including distributing leaflets and CDs and simple word of mouth. Elsewhere, plain clothes members of the Government's besieged militia gathered on motorcycles ready to charge down any demonstrations. Protests like these are now infrequent but are a sign that Iran's government has failed to completely crush dissent.

POPSGulf oil to drop dollar-denominated pricing Starting in 2018, the Gulf states will no longer sell their oil for dollars. They will instead use a "basket" structure which will include Chinese, Japanese, and European currencies, gold, and a yet-to-be-created common Gulf currency. This could, to put it mildly, have very far-reaching effects.

POPSRadical Muslim Cleric Among 21 Killed in Gaza Clashes It would appear that Hamas are the good guys ( in this case anyway ). Of course, all religious extremists may start looking over their shoulders if this becomes a fad. ( and I don't mean just Muslims, as shown by the death of a pro choicer in the US recently)

POPSPakistan faces Christian protest after eight people 'burned alive' Missionary schools across Pakistan closed on Monday in a three day protest against the deaths of up to seven Christians who were burned alive in clashes with Muslims. But glad the atheists are ignoring this because it only makes sense to condemn the victims who are being burned alive. Nice. So atheists, tell me, are there any Christians who need to be condemned because they asked a girl who was disrupting a classroom during Sunday School to "be quiet." I know it's horrific that a Christian could do such a thing as asking someone to be quiet during church. I mean, burning someone alive isn't nearly as bad....dontcha think?
