Fighting Words

The IRI will eventually collapse.  It’s inevitable.  No dictatorship survives an educated, modern (mostly modern) society like Iran. But how do you think it will meet its end? Please vote. Here are the options:

1)      Overthrown in a bloody revolution / uprising;

2)      Internal coup by a small cadre of its security forces who see the regime as being un-reformable and doomed in its current form;

3)      Reform by political process as a result of elections;

4)      “Bloodless coup” by a group of its ruling elite who have the backing of the security forces;

5)      Desertion of its political and military elite as a result of crippling economic sanctions;

6)      Military attack by a foreign force.

7)      Combination of several of these factors (specify which ones).
