Was living in Berlin Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. We had NO IDEA that it was happening but a few weeks before started seeing changes that eventually led to the wall's demise. Still, almost no one predicted it happening.
This very well may be the same thing but personally I feel that it will take one more election (2 or 4 years in the future) before this situation comes fully to a head. Now that its started, its not been fully formed in the outlying areas of the country. Until this happens the "revolution" will not be able to fully encompass the country.
Never the less, we are watching history in the making with the events in Iran the last week.
