in the end, the state and the military and the security forces in the soviet union and east germany pretty much gave up without a fight, and things moved along peacefully
iran, not so much
the soviet union turned into a kleptocracy; the people are free but the social contract is destroyed -- it's an economic war of all against all

What the US needs to do is keep the pressure on, and not do anything to legitimize this government. Anything that would allow the Iranian public to begin to support this government is both bad for us and bad for them in the long run. We don't need to be doing anything that has the side effect of prolonging an illegitimate regime's reign.

Does the fact that I have been wearing green earrings to work all week count?
Yeah, right.
