I can see this ending very badly for the mullahs, even though they have the upper hand right now. There is a big difference between a country like Iran and one like, say, Burma. The people of Iran know that the people can throw off an unpopular regime having done so before. 

On a very slightly bright note, the Obama administration appears to have withdrawn its offer of all the hot dogs the mullahs could eat on the 4th of July.
