Well, some people have been saying that for 34 years, Mr. Sweet, so one has to be prudent about predicting that. But clearly, the regime is facing unprecedented crises of legitimacy. The radicalization of the regime, the elimination or marginalization of even the Ahmadinejad camp or the Rafsanjani camp, groups that were once integral parts of the regime, is really the spine of the increasing isolation of the regime not just internationally but also within Iran itself.
It's very difficult to predict the collapse of the regime, and collapses are not necessarily single events that occur on a single day, but the trajectory for the regime is certainly not promising. We have to be prepared in a worst case scenario for a weakened and isolated regime that can still hold on to power for quite some time, but very weakened and on an unsustainable basis.
The focus really has to be, as I said, on how the policies pursued by Canada and other governments can facilitate a non-violent, negotiated, democratic transition. Part of it may be isolation of the leadership while we empower civil society, but part of it may also be to give incentives for a surrender of power in ways other than what we've seen in other places in the Middle East.
