Having said that, however: this particular rioting will not work. The tide is just not there. The signs are all in English. The crowds are mostly educated, urban and hip, which means - not a majority and not influential. The conservative majority, the military and the police will outlast the demonstrators who'll soon enough find something else fun to do with their evenings.
After all, the difference between Iran and Serbia is more than just nine years.
