Reopening this posting, expelled Guardian Tehran correspondent Dan De Luce tells his side of the story.

Dan's argument -- Don't hold your breath for the next Iranian revolution because it ain't coming any time soon:

"Contrary to the fantasies of neo-conservatives, Iran is not on the verge of revolution and, if it was, the US wouldn't be able to orchestrate it.

"There is no coherent political opposition or leader able to harness public discontent. A significant number of Iranians are profiting from an economic boom and are not ready to risk their livelihood for democracy protests."
