Well - I wouldn´t call the iranian mullahs smart (these are the same people who base their life on 1400 years old outdated ideology) - they have only survived, because nobody really gave a shit (meaning who wanted to die in some iranian desert in the 80s and 90s, beside iraqis?)... however that have changed now - I give them 10 years, then they have either been overthrown, or they have crippled their own economy and people to a point where they will be unable to do anything, beside endless friday prayer rhetoric.
Iran is not surround yet, however freedom have never been closer to their borders, and I think the mullahs are stressed about the future, so we should keep knocking on their door until they break down.
