Revolutions happen when the oppressed party has, quite frankly, had enough. Enough being their perspective and determination. And power to commit that revolution is always available, to anyone. Price tag attached. How the downstream is managed is a whole 'nother matter.

IF they want freedom, they'll have it. IF they want democracy, they'll have it. IF they want autocracy, they'll have it. IF they want instability, and outside intervention, and malcontent, and constant strife, they'll have it, and largely because they do not make the commitment obligatory to ensuring those conditions are controlled. Real change just don't come cheap or easy.

IF they're truly stupid enough to feel Iran is their future, well, then..... it is likely we'll be watching the region for a long time to come. And Iran is hardly an unknown. But so far they've made it pretty clear they want none of Iran.
