My Way News - Iran's leader: End protests or risk 'bloodshed'

AP reports: "Iran's supreme leader sought Friday to end the deepening crisis over disputed elections with one decisive speech - declaring the vote will almost certainly stand and sternly warning opposition leaders to end street protests or be held responsible for any 'bloodshed and chaos' to come."

Comment: Well, that's that. It's too bad their system couldn't reconcile the popular demand for reform with the rigid clerical autocracy that had already decided Ahmadinejad was their man. Israel will not have to work hard to remind the world (and the U.S.) what a threat Iran is to the region and the world.
