Theocracies

What we are seeing in Iran is the obvious result of allowing religious nutters to have political power. And who allowed it? The millions of people howling in the streets for the return of "the Ayatollah" all those years ago. Religious power comes from the unthinking support of the people - we usually get the governments we deserve. And please stop using the words "Iran" and "Democracy" in the same sentence. How can it be a democracy if some nutter at the top, supported by his pious goons, picks the runners?
