The Iranian People Deserve Regime Change
(Telegraph-UK) Editorial - The violence targeted at protesters in Iran is shocking in its scale and depravity. The regime's forces are firing live ammunition into crowds of protesters; bodies recovered by families show that some were shot at close range from behind. The brutal repression of the current protests follows a long and bloody trail left by the ayatollahs over decades. The only way to bring this to an end is for the regime in Tehran to be toppled. There is no appetite in the West to put boots on Iranian ground, but there is also no need to. The people who have suffered for too long clearly want an end to the repression and violence of the Islamic Republic. The task of regime change here is one of freeing the population to choose for themselves.
