I don't think anything is going to come from this.
Some people will get killed, some people will get put in jail, the others will become intimidated, and it will go back to how it always was.
I think it's too far for that now. The government has lost the trust and respect of all the public, especially when they brought in Hezbollah. I think we're about to see something monumental that is going to have a great positive effect on the world. IF this revolution does go through the world NEEDS to work with the new government.
Also, Freak's mention of Andrew Sullivan's blog appears to be one of the best places to get any sort of information on what is going on. Check it out at The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
I cannot believe the lack of attention this is getting from main stream media. It's almost appalling that the only time CNN, Fox or MSNBC are giving this are some special 15 minute updates. We need specialists in the area, people like Nicolas Kristof, or Kevin Sites. Actually, I'd be happy with anyone to be honest. And really, we're looking at two things that practically world changing.
1.) Iran is possibly going to go through a revolution. This is entirely a common-folk driven revolution, and that's not something that has really been seen since the French revolution. The Iranian military also won't shoot their fellow Iranians, so the government has brought in Hezbollah to do it. This going to have a cascading effect, as now Hezbollah is going to be the enemy for the entire middle east. We're potentially looking at something like the fall of communism, only this is going to be the fall of dictatorships.
2.) Social media. This uprising would NEVER have existed if it weren't for sites like FriendFeed or Twitter. Not only is it allowing the Iranian people to connect, and organize these protests, but it's also allowing the world to stay informed about what is going on.
Two things.
1. I disagree with that bolded point, Iran 1979 is a perfect example of a common folk revolution with installed the current Islamic Republic.
2. I've been trying to follow the best I can with limited computer and tv access for the past week but where have you heard hezbollah has been brought in? I have heard them using their royal guards (I can't remember their name) who are extremely faithful to the current prez. And they are the ones doing the killing.

That's very interesting I have not heard that on CNN or CBC that is a very dangerous move it's just going to turn the people against the regime even more.
