Notice how the NIE changed not just our dialogue on Iran but reoriented Iranian discussion toward the domestic non-performance of the Ahmadinejad administration?

It certainly seems the NIE had that impact.

hopefully,more attention is directed internally by Iranians,and the
student and other various (speacially oil) union and movements get
more organized,and possibly with more strikes,paralize this 10th
century Government, bring about a secular and more democratic one.
can America realize that and support it for its own good too?! of course,after Bush(the word bush means smell in farsi. i say stink)
