Whiskey, The rulers of Iran will go down, not when the opposition has more guns than them but when the Revolutionary Guard refuses to use its guns against the opposition. The Iranian rulers are well aware that their biggest threat comes from within and have prepared for this day for years. They can’t be beat by force of arms, at least not from within.

Promulgation of information on the net is one way that the opposition can spread the word of what is happening and can influence their opponents to change. Its decentralized nature makes it difficult for the Iranian rulers to shut it down. Curiously Iran is dependent on the internet for its business and other interests. This has made it impossible for Iran to simply shut down the internet but rather has tried to filter it. There are many problems with spreading of info by the internet, including the regime spreading false info under false flags, but in the end I think it is a great egalitarian endeavor that will help to bring down tyrannies.
