The reason the people won't rise up again is that it's no longer worth it to them. They don't stand a chance, plus, the last time they did it, our president turned his back on them. The tales of torture and executions coming out if Iran are so horrific, one cannot even describe them. Let's not forget, the Islamist Republic of Iran are the teachers of Assad and Hezbollah in how to be ruthless and barbaric so that nobody dares say a thing.That's simply not the case.

Of course it is....in 2011/2012 a study was conducted "circumventing Iran's "electronic curtain" and asking questions which constituted an accurate representative sample of Iranian society, including all of Iran's 31 provinces as well as a representative distribution of all ethnic groups, ages and levels of education.
An analysis of the Iranian sample showed that alongside conservative values, such as conformity and tradition, Iranian society is characterized by strong support for pro-liberal values such as a belief in the importance of self-direction and benevolence. For example, 94% of the respondents identified with the sentence "freedom to choose what he does is important to him," and 71% of the respondents identified with the sentence "being tolerant toward all kinds of people and groups is important to him."
[The] findings demonstrate that Iranian society as a whole is characterized by a pro-liberal value structure that is deeply at odds with the fundamentalist regime. This presents considerable potential for regime change in Iran and for the development of liberal democracy.
