The immediate and lasting significance of mass show trials such as the Tehran opera in this video is that the illegitimate Tehran regime has moved into the role of most villainous civil cadre on Earth and therefore the Obama administration is derailed from its ambition at open appeasement on the nuke threat.   Instead, the White House Politburo surrounding POTUS must needs find peace-making cookies by sending tireless George Mitchell and other gifts to the Assad regime in Damascus -- a tin-can surrogate for the usurper Ahmadinejad and his kindred of Cain. Show trials have the advantage of being predictable, so the mind is free to gauge the quality of the staging. Twilight Zone did this all better, and I will find the original TZ episode with Burgess Meredith (a TZ favorite) and post it soon.   Meantime, the silence of POTUS on the Tehran blackguardhood continues puzzling to confounding. Why not comment? No cost. The Tehran regime is self-destroyed as a peace partner.
