Spinoff: Iran Envy?

[moe.ron]

Here's the question, will the end result follow what happen in Indonesia, where the student movement were able to forced the dictator resigned. Or, will it follow China where the student movement was crushed?

My guess is that it'll mirror neither. I think the present protests will ultimately be crushed, but there are still a lot of people in the Iranian establishment who are trying to cash in on this revolutionary movement in improving their own political standing. I think that eventually those folks will find themselves in the majority and we'll see something of a quiet revolution.
