The seeds of civil unrest spread like wildfire.

The title of this forum is "Iran Defence" so let me ask. With all these unrest and outright revolutions in the neighborhood, is the Iranian regime feeling any heat? Are they gonna lock down the country. I know they have supported some people in some of the unrest, but the Syrian government is an ally to Iran, right?

The last Iranian presidential elections was Iran's chance at revolting and the regime crushed that notion very quickly and brutally. Iran's regime is too powerful to topple at the hands of students and women.

I bet Iran was pretty irked when France lead a coalition bombing campaign into Libya. If Iran starts genociding people like Gaddafi, what is to stop the French forcing the coalition into Iran? It is certainly of more vital interest to the US than Libya.

I'd hardly call it genocide, but at this time Gaddafi and the rebels are both weak faction. Libya is a weak country period and that is why the French treated the situation so lightly. Iran, even during internal dissent, would still be very capable of retaliatory strikes against any foreign actors.

Gaddafi killed over 8,000 by the time of French air strikes, what constitutes a genocide these days? Do we have to wait for the next Rawanda? When Israel kills 1400+ Gazans it is termed genocide. This is all the more fitting.

Gaddafi is using any and all power he has to remain in power after being forced to do so. Let us not forget who asked for violence. By revolting, these rebels have understood that they will be risking their lives and the lives of bystanders, yet they march forward. If Gaddafi decided to stick with the water cannons, do you think he would be in power at this moment or on trial?

Protesters didn't pick up arms until Gaddafi started shooting at them. There was already over 1000 dead by the time the East started defecting. Who used illegitimate force?

I believe such force by Gaddafi was anticipated and expected by those organizing this rebellion, and after provoking such force they grant themselves justification to proceed. Does this make the opposition any better? Letting some eggs get crushed for the greater good?

It doesn't matter what they knew or not, people have a right to protest without getting massacred. That gave them the justification to proceed. It makes the opposition legitimate in the eyes of the international community and now they got a coalition kicking Gaddafi's arse.

Apparently not in Libya. It doesn't matter who deserves to have rights in your eyes, the fact is that is the law of the land and this movement understood that perfectly well.

Apparently it does as Gaddafi is getting raped by French fighters.
