Iranian Vice President Resigns (Blames Conservatives)
TEHRAN, Iran -- An Iranian vice president, who was a close ally of reformist President Mohammad Khatami, resigned Tuesday, saying he could not work with the conservative-dominated parliament.

Mohammad Ali Abtahi first tendered his resignation in February, but it was not accepted. He said Tuesday that the president had accepted his resignation after he insisted he was unable to work with the hard-line parliament.

1. Democracy spreading like wild fire
This must be that domino effect that the Neocons believe will spread democracy throughout the entire Middle East. Or was that autocracy? Gosh darn, it's so hard to tell the difference these days...
