As the Islamic Republic continues to be hammered by Israeli jets, it seems that the Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, has announced a transition to a democratic government. He is in Paris, so it's hard to know when he will get to Tehran. There is still a lot of work to be done, but he is premising a democratic government, a separation of church and state, and fair trials to the Islamists. We'll see how that works out for him.
I would love to see a democratic, parliamentarian style government in Iran. But I'm realistic enough to know that won't happen this week. I also feely admit that I was surprised to see the Berlin Wall come down in such a hurry.
