Shock and Awe in Iran

                S H O C K 
   The President of Iran wants to 
       ‘talk to the people’
   Says if the people are complaining
       the leadership needs ‘go to hell’


         &  A W E --- F U L
   For his part, the Ayatollah threatens
       ‘to put the rioters in their place’
   A little birdie whispered in my ear
       ‘This isn’t going to come out well’ 



     Epilogue: Ten rioters dead - so far
