1. There have been some intense images from Iran today.

It will not end quietly.

2. No, it seems to have been gaining strength

since Montazeri's funeral last week.

What we don't know, and it's probably a good thing, is the type of leadership this has.

This is the most dangerous phase for any uprising, when it's starting to coalesce around a group of leaders but those leaders are extremely vulnerable to assassination by the state.

As soon as either the police or military start to defect to the uprising, those leaders will appear.

I think this will end well. Either the present government will be overthrown or the present government will be forced to moderate after the uprising is crushed.

4. It's starting...

Someone just emailed me this pic of an Iranian policeman apparently joining the protesters.

6. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the same guy.

3. The brave Iranians have not suffered tyrants well

in the past...present government is not reading history well nor learning from it and is playing with tinderboxes and fire while "governing" from a matchbox.
