Well, at this point it’s pretty clear that this goes beyond who becomes the President of Iran. If the regime fails to contain this uprising, they are toast. Sadly, they probably won’t fail. But we should all hope and work for that the protestors succeed.
Yes, and I do. It's gonna take awhile before we know what the true motivations of this protest are. I just hope that, if the fatalities mount up, it's not the current regime that triumphs. (Yes, I know the odds of that, too.)
