Despite the Iranian Supreme Leader's demand for an end to protests, they continue. No one knows how far these protests will go. Will they bring the regime down? Probably not, but never say never. Whether it happens in a month or in 20 years theocracy's days are numbered.
If anything these demonstrations prove something many have known all along: the Iranian people want democracy. They value the right to determine who leads them just like we do. Iranian youth especially are much more modern than the those who run their country. Their values, while not exactly like ours, are modern.
Afghanistan is free and Iraq is free, I hope Iran is soon to follow.
