COULD THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END? This, of course, being the fairly spontaneous growth of protests in Iran, which in their last three days have spilled over from students to their fairly pro-Western Tehranian neighbors, who are unhappy with the slow pace of reform Khatami's election was meant to herald in six years ago.

This (and this timeline) is from the last time students protested in Tehran, during the hot summer of 1999 following the election of reformist but hobbled President Khatami.
