West Moral Compass
West lead by US during the BUSH era lost the little post colonial moral capital they had by doing exactly what Chines, Algerians, Egyptians, Saudis,... others do to their opponent. Primitively with missiles killing 'suspects', detaining without charge 'profiled suspects' without any evidence, and supporting Israel when they bomb the hell of Lebanon and kill at will in occupied land.
Iran and other dictatorial countries then tell themselves what the fuck US and EU does it so let the basijis kick some local ass and kill them suckers before they kill us. Imprison anyone we think might want to harm us, does that sound familiar!!!

Bubble Economies
We in US had Internet bubble in 90's, then Housing bubble 00's and are setting things up for Green bubble followed by Health care bubble..... as so on. The market economy that is not really free and at the same time not really supervised or allowed to have SMART REGULATION will have to survive with BUBBLES. The political economy that will continue to be messed with by the political party in power will waste resources, kill animals, start wars with WMD lies, and occasionally use patriotism to rally the troops. The system then is able to pacify "we the people" and fizzle any real grass root attempt the create sustainable and just social/economical framework.

Iran Election (aka Selection)
Regardless of how the election results works its self out in the near and long term one fact remains solid that event in Iran will for GOOD change how Middle East is run. The dictators both US allies or otherwise will now have to content with new set of standards on accountability and responsiveness to PEOPLE. The unelected leaders in Egypt, Israel (until Palestinians get to vote), Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Sudan, Algeria, yes even Turkey are on notice that people are not going to just lay down and let the dictators ram it to them. The civil society standards are now being outlined in streets of Tehran and other cites in the middle east. These rules are not based on Judi-Christian values of some distant land but more real and close and based on Islam and indigenous cultural and heritage of the people of middle east.
Once they arrive at the Mecca of their civil society they may still have issues with west and their designs on resources and virgin markets, so don't count on happy ever after when they get their house in order.
The two countries that are off the list namely Iraq and Afghanistan can not begin this journey of people power until their nation is free of foreign occupation forces.
