The EU having secret police would surely mean that the EU has some kind of organisation?

Defending the in-defenseable.

I think I understand the reason for the EEC and by extension the EU. Parity with the US. But now that we have a weak executive will the EU step up and take responsibility? This is the long wanted chance for the EU and its member nations to show what they are worth.

Highly unlikely....they can seldom agree with one another on just about everything

That shows how little I understand. But I want to. before our current executive it was our falt for the worlds problems. now that we have a weak president...will the EU step up and protect me and my family?

Thank you for your help Letum. I was under the impression that moderators were helpful. Perhaps I was wrong.

You wrote RIS and i didn't understand it. Just looking for clarification. Can you help me?

'RIS' is slag for "I don't get it".

I'm certainly not a moderator, despite being temporally on the list, but I do
apologize if I have been at all unhelpful.

Thank you for your response...RIS means I don't get it. RIS as to how that happened.

Crazy!

Looks like over 100 reformists have been arrested, along with protesters in the streets who had to chase of secret police who had infiltrated the crowds. Foreign media services have been suspended and the offices for the opposition political parties have been more or less blockaded to prevent them holding press conferences.

There hasn't been this much open and public dissent towards the Iranian leadership for 30 years. They thought they could strengthen their position by rigging an election, but instead they've stirred up a hornets nest... I only hope they don't go the way of the Chinese when it comes to silencing public dissent.

Thanks for the update.

I wouldn't worry so much about public dissent as I would about Israeli action.
