1989 was a HUGE political year for democratic revolutions! Chinese students built a 10 Meter high "Statue of Liberty" in Teanamien Square and demanded democracy. {remember the lone guy with his shopping standing infront of the Tanks} ....the government arrested sypathetic political figures and ran the protesters down with Tanks. The same year the Berlin wall was destroyed and Eastern Europe was free......so, how will Iran end? I think it's too early to tell....I predict if anything a Civil War.
IRAN - Will the "theocratic" government fall like Soviet Union or resistance crushed like China?

Probably more like the Soviet Union because Iran's government is corrupt and ineffective. In China, the unspoken deal is 'you obey and we direct 7 to 10 % GDP growth per year'. So, that holds down the dissent. Even if your life sucks, you might have hope, for you or your kids.
The thing to watch for is: will the protests spill over to major cities in Iran? If not, nothing will likely come of it. Tehran has always been a thorn in the side of the Iranian Theocrats.
