Iran Permits No Transit Strikes, or Peaceful, Easy Feelings

Days like today remind you of the advantages of living under a totalitarian regime.

(In Soviet Moscow, the subways arrived every 90 seconds! Or something like that.)

Entirely unrelatedly, CNN this morning reminds us of another totalarian upside:

Which seems not at all unpleasant. Wonder if the subway's running in Tehran?
