Iran

It is hard not to become hopeful about what is happening in Iran, but the world has been down this path so many times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not

Worked
Eastern Europe - Some smoother than others but over all pretty good and not many deaths
the exception being the Balkans and that is taking a little more effort
South Africa - It took a long time but truth won out
Eritria - violent and brutal but they are free from Ethiopia
Phillipines

Not worked - Pretty much everywhere else
China, Burma, Hati, the Sudan, Somalia, Madagascar & a few more

But, I think the Iranian's are different

• Many consider themselves to be Persian - the birthplace of civilization, science and more
• Both men and women are well educated
• They do not seem willing to be bought out by economic success like the Chinese
• The majority of the population is under 30
• Most folks have access to the internet and are using it to inform each other about the events going on
• There appears to be a division within the ranks of the 80 men who have final say on all issues
• People eventually just get tired of having their leaders embarrassing them
• VA & PA voted out foolish Senators

But, I could be wrong and just letting my hope get the better of me.

Should I have hope?
