Fascinating.  The lbo-list Iranian thread closely parallels the stats
for the US "surge" in Iraq -- both show all-time record high post/body
counts for the year but declining post/body counts recently.  However,
there is always the prospect of a quick resurgence of IEDs in Iraq and
a sudden uptick of UIPs (Unread Iranian Posts) on the lbo-list.
