Yes exactly, unfortunately they have nobody to answer to either, so they kill and torture their own people.

But who is going to use force against them? It will destabilize the whole region into World War III.

It is a difficult situation. The people don't believe they have the power to overthrow their government, they tried several times and were attacked, killed, executed, imprisoned.

The problem is that the people cannot get their hands on arms.

Also, the average Iranians life is not as poverty stricken as people in Egypt, so they have less incentive and more to lose by risking their lives to pour into the streets by the millions.

The Iranian government is much more fear based than the Egyptian one was. Mubarak was a pussy compared to the Mullahs in Iran, they are very vicious!

I hope that they will be overthrown soon. Good luck people of Iran.
