Dissent in Iran: Is This Time Different?
I have for a long time been pessimistic that the overthrow of the current regime in Iran is possible without massive bloodshed because its security forces led by the Revolutionary Guard seemed willing to bash and kill dissenters. This Economist editorial suggests there may be a growing unwillingness to do so when protests are led by women willing to risk death. Good on Iranian women and I can only hope it is true.
