Nobody is going to win revolution for you.<br /> (2) Violence or not. Khamenei is done for. Whether he leaves a week or months from now is irrelevant.<br /> (3) People are much more willing to bloodshed against other nations/cultures than against your fellow citizens. I would not be surprised if there is a little violence.Don't you remember how ruthless Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania was and how quickly he was gone?<br /> (4) Revolution is spreading across generations and geographical areas. This is critical. If you see photos from latter demonstrations, older people are there. It is not just "crazy" young kids that could be easily dismissed as immature by ruling parties. Once this spreading happens, there is no turning point.</p> pubDate Thu, 18 Jun 2009 06:47:55 -0700 dc:creator Anonymous guid false comment 175090 at http://motherjones.com
