The system has every reason to fear the opposition. And exactly that is what makes them so dangerous.

I hope you are right, frylock.
I hope so to, I don't claim to be any sort of expert and lack knowledge of Iranian culture, the police seem largely neutral, the only way I can see a crushing blow is to roll in the army and the tanks which would just shift the movement back some years, the powers that be are putting their false teeth on the nightstand and counting down their mortality. The youth in not to many years will be middle aged and in charge.

I can also see the Army fracturing due to the average age and number of youth. Then we may have a standoff or civil war (lets hope not on the last one).

Speculation: Yes, buckets of it.

Thanks for all the great info I just read.

Two days ago I would have went with around 10 years, a few repeats of yesterday and I think it's close. Did you catch the pro government demonstration by students, the numbers were estimated at 2,000. Even if we go out on a limb and say that was not somewhat staged, the pro government demonstrators and the Greens math says a ton.

Add that to the fact the pro government demonstrators have nothing to fear I am shocked there were not far more of them. The Greens on the other hand, I think it's a safe assumption for every one on the streets, there was at least twice that amount that are with the cause but playing it safe.

Time will tell, perhaps not that much time.

Earlier I was read Niteowl's blog - his review of yesterday.

Most interesting to me was Cyrus' comments - especially point 5. Fascinating - I'm going to tweet them when I get home.

Protesters Defy Iranian Government, Again - The Daily NiteOwl

Worth reading the whole thing - but here's point 5:



Did you see any footage of the progov demos - I did on Press TV - and all I can say is the govt must have a lot of very mature students! (They were mostly men in the 30s/40s!!!!
No on the last part, throw up a link, I'll take the comical when I can and the regime seems to pull some damn funny ones. (Is there not some wise thug that sits back and says "Hold on, Perhaps we should use people that look like students".

Point 5 Seems right on track and is the norm. You have the youth, Idealistic, single, full of energy and not allot of ties to lose. They roll the ball.

Then you have those with good jobs, kids, a wife who wait for the scales to tip before they act, if the scales have not tipped questions fill their minds, if I act and am imprisoned or worse who will provide and care for my wife and kids, (or in this case heck, who will care for my husband and kids).

I pray the scales tip soon.

We both sat and laughed and laughed - I'm so sure it's not from yesterday - just some archive film they've thrown up!

Try this link:
