One of the biggest strenghts of the protests are that they are bottom up. THis means that the regime cannot easily decapitate the protests.

This regime is a mix of Theocracy and the worst of the far left.<br /><br />A regime that justifies its actions via god's will is capable of any evil. <br /><br />The only way this regime falls is if someone in the Revolutionary guards decides to seize the moment<br />and side with the protesters. However, the prospect of a Civil War by those supporting the regime would be very real.<br /><br />Theocracies are much more dangerous<br />than a classic strongman. One can sometimes bribe a strongman to leave as they are greedy.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-80159125204257292262009-12-30T00:52:19.245+00:002009-12-30T00:52:19.245+00:00This protest is so far from over.This protest is so far from over.Susan English Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661766173970296173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-35115785736170898292009-12-29T22:56:47.476+00:002009-12-29T22:56:47.476+00:00I don't think there is someone to take over.
