    This rebellion seems to me a social phenomenon that regards itself by technology as existing it therefore has accomplished everything it can.
    So what if the whole world is watching? Novel for Persians to be on the street and at the center of what appears to be the world's attention but unled, unorganized, and not chaotic is no way to transform the political landscape. This must be the assessment of the regime.
