It is not so an unpredictable outcome.
(COMMENT)
If there is a lesson to be learned by the dictators (from the outcome of Hosni Mubarak, and Muammar Gaddafi) is that, you either escape early, or crush the opposition in the very beginning (no quarter). Both Mubarak and his wife had heart attacks immediately after arrest and interrogation. We've just seen what has happened to Gaddafi. I think it is safe to say that the rebels/opposition will show no mercy.
President Ahmadenijad is not in the same category as President Assad. President Ahmadenijad (and the rest of Iran) has to contend The Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei). Presient Assad is the defacto King of Syria. It is a big difference. And if I was Assad, and intended to stay, I would become 10 times more ruthless than demonstrated to date.
Most Respectfully,
