The issue isn't so much (probable) election fraud though they are certainly acting like guilty people, but, how you respond to civil protest in the 21st century. When revolution came 30 plus years ago the Shah was so bad that the Islamic Republic looked good. Here it is a generation later and a dogmatic theocracy can't provide the kind of Government an educated, wired and significantly large proportion under 30 crave. The hardliners may have won this battle but I don't know if they can win the war.
