It may not be pro western but the people have been simmering for years with an underground pro-democratic movement.
I pray that this is the birth of that movement finally coming out into the open.
The regular Army is the last hope for the rebels.
The pawns of Ahmadinejad and the mullahs are the Revolutionary Guards and various militias.
The normal Army consists of conscripts and has signaled that they will be for now neutral in this fight.
A coup by the Army against the Guards would be a good thing.
