Is it just me or did the potential revolution in Iran suddenly disappear from the headlines once Michael Jackson died?
Sometimes it seems as though journalists are like undergraduates who fixate so much on the plot holes in a Shakespearean play that they completely miss what the play is really about...
The "potential revolution" in Iran was mostly media hype. There was no actual evidence of election fraud in Iran. See IranAffairs.com for detials.

Frankly, I don't care if the election was fraudulent or not. Tyranny is its own excuse for revolt.
Not that I advocate revolution... but I have heard it works out pretty well from time to time.
