It depends on what this is about. If it's mostly about rising gasoline prices, then protests could be mostly the usual north Tehran crowd. When Ahmadinejad raised gas prices before, he used the money for payments to the poor...and people really appreciated it...those people, that is, who don't have cars. Those that had cars were pretty resentful, which may be what is playing out in the protests, though the Western media loves to engage in wishful thinking about regime change.
I sent you a few liberty dollars to start the year off right.
