What one should be paying attention to, though, is that there are protestors in Iran. Tehran is a hotbed for protest and forward thinking. Many may not be aware of it, but there are tons of underground clubs in Tehran, drinking and drug use. These kids, though, will be adults soon. These liberal Muslim kids will be running Iran.

Underground kids drinking proves nothing. Even Afgans in mid 70s consumed alcohol (privately) and I don't see them liberated anyhow.
The condition of Iran is quite different they are quite modernized already. like fourth largest bloggers, extremely high women literacy (Women today compose more than half of the incoming classes for universities, are in army , in sports and have Womens' Movement) and it's classisfied as Semi-Developed Nation by UN. And even after this we see fundamentalism.
