#1 Civil disobedience is still disobedience, and works a heck of a lot less than armed insurrection against tyrants. The Mullahs don't give a damn what the public think, and are willing to squeeze their country dry.

This will only change when the Mullahs think their own rear ends are on the line. During the major protests, many of the Mullahs were very ready to bug out, but didn't, because the protesters didn't escalate as they should have.
