Iranians want end to sanctions, short-lived poll finds
TEHRAN — In a rare glimpse of public opinion in Iran, more than 60% of respondents to an online survey on the website of the state television news channel said they would favor Tehran ending uranium enrichment activities in exchange for the gradual removal of international sanctions.

Yes we might see some real riots this year but I am not thinking about Iran when I say that and now we can add in the Libor rate fixing from the major banks that has cost americans trillions of dollars but no bankers will go to jail for this fraud unless we make it happen and that will need to be backed up by force.
