We have no clue what comes out of this. For all we know the opposition leadership cuts a deal with the revolutionary guard that gives them more autonomy in exchange for backing the opposition. Or the baluchi’s try to secede and end up destabilizing pakistan. Or iran becomes a failed state and radical sunni groups move in to wage war. We don’t know what comes out of this. I mean, it’s better to mention “alternative realities” of a successful green revolution that don’t end in a rosy scenario for the west. Because those are the realities we have to prepare for.

And I’m still trying to figure out how conservatives got in the business of thinking in grandiose utopian ideas about foreign policy, but it’s dangerously naive.
