Michael Totten has an excellent run-down of all the events in Iran over the past couple days, from all sides of the political spectrum. The bottom line seems to be that there is a great deal of outrage over the official results of the election, mass demonstrations, clashes with the police and “move along, nothing to see here” propaganda from the regime.
Will this turn in to a revolution? One can pray that it will – but for too long we’ve seen the Iranian regime manage to contain these proto-revolutionary outbreaks due to the ability to hire foreign goons and a residual level of support among enough Iranians to surmount the crisis. My bet is that the mullahs will remain in charge – with oil prices getting hire, the mullahs will have the cash to pay for the suppression of the Iranian people, as well as bribe some Iranian people off the streets.
