The gov't in Iran survives on crisis.
No crisis and the people will begin to ask pointy questions like, "how come we're so poor and you're so rich?", and "how come we don't have free will?" and "why is it that we can't have free elections?", "and what about women's rights?"
The current gov't in Iran is basically a totalarian hard line regime steeped in Islamic rhetoric.
No-one in their right mind would want that kind of government.
A perpetual state of war with the US is required in order to ensure its unquestioned survival. "Now is not the time to be questioning the word of the Ayatollah Ibrihm, the USA wants to destroy us all"
Now what happens when that is not the case and all the Iranian people see is a bunch of incompetent fools telling them what to do?
The problem for the Ayatollahs and the rest of their useless buddies is the internet.
The great communication revolution is more powerful than anything before or since. It allows the Iranians access to see and know what is really going on in the world, not was some Islamo fascist tells them. And the beauty is that the Ayatollahs can't stop it. The Iranians aren't that much different than you or I. They want freedom, they want security, they want blue jeans.
Without the threat of big bad America, these fools will surely fall.
Obama held out an olive branch and the Iranian people now know it.
30 years of trying to beat Iran into the ground with a stick simply have not worked. Quite the opposite in fact. Obama is simply smart enough to realize that and he's removing the threat.
