TEHRAN, Friday, June 13 A third night of student protests outside Tehran University's dormitories exploded into the surrounding middle-class neighborhoods early today, with large gangs of students fighting running street battles against vigilantes armed with sticks and chains. At one major intersection demonstrators hurled bricks at trucks of riot policemen who were rushing to lift barricades and douse fires protesters had ignited in the streets.

Your thoughts? If this lead to the fall of the reactionary religious leaders, it would certainly be a plum for Bush and Company. They could, and very likely would, point to it as a positive result of their Iraq adventure. Of course, if it turns into another Tienaman Square, they'll disavow all responsibility--just as any administration would.
This the religous hard-liners are on the way out? Can the students and the reform block pull it off?
