Let us hope cops and regular soldiers join the uprising.

this interesting post from sci-fi author John Ringo, who notes that while 2009's Green Revolution was mostly supported by women and soft-handed urbanites -- and opposed by stronger rural young men, who of course won out -- this current uprising is taking places in what you'd call rural or blue-collar areas of Iran, meaning the young, strong men they relied upon to crush the opposition last time might now be ranged against the mullahs.
