But no one can be sure how it would end up I bet it's going to provide interesting news for the next few days.

I actually agree with you that we're not going to see any kind of revolution for a long time (to be fair I was incredibly high when I wrote that) but I do think that ahmedinejad's "election" is something that will serve to help mobilize and motivate the pro democracy movement (if such a movement exists) in iran...
At any rate it was certainly moving to see all of the yong people protesting and standing up for what they believe in a country where doing so can result in severe punishment.
