If outright rebellion begins and the head theocrats turn those hired Arab thugs loose to kill, rape, maim and torture the people of Iran, how long should we expect to see the Mullahs retain power: a week? A couple of days?

Anybody care to tender a guess?

Things would be bloody, I don't know if it would be a short Romanian-style violent coup lasting a week or two, or a full blown civil war lasting years. Hopefully not the latter.

I hate to think of that.......might depend on whether the U.S. decides to step in and lend a hand....?
