You make a good point but I still wonder sort of effect the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had on the protest movement in Iran. I think it must have at least made them more aware of world outside that is ready to welcome them if only the government wasn't hostile and dictatorial. Especially with fundamentalist groups such as the Taleban. Any attempt at overthrowing Ahmadinejad's government wouldn't be possible because of of how this would weaken the country leaving it open to ideological driven outsiders such as the Taleban or even Saddam's Iraq. A revolution in a country is the best time to attack it if you want to increase your territory. I think the protest movement in Iraq is a serious threat to Ahmadinejad's government and I don't think this would have developed without a safer, more democratic middle east. The wars in Iran and Afghanistan have shown to them that this a time for change.
By the way Demonrail, I was going to rep you for this thread but I STILL can't rep you.
