>>How popular would the mullahs be with a cold, damp and hungry populace...<<
I wonder if an over through could e in the works. I believe most Iranians want to live in a country that is safe and at peace. It may be an opportunity for those folks to take the lead.
By making them more uncomfortable but not attacking them, it is the mullahs that will get ‘the horn’ because they cannot supply or protect their people. More discomfort, more chance of revolution, IMO.
