As much as I'd like to see it, I don't see any revolution happening in short order there. People can protest all they want, but when you have the older population and lots of guns on your side, you're eventually going to wear down the protesters.
Their deposing of the Shah worked because the revolutionaries had the army on their side, thats always the big lynch pin.
The coup attempt in Russian failed a bunch of years back because the army wasn't on the side of the people that wanted to depose the government.
