Iran Primed For Revolution

Here's another reason why Iran likely isn't an "imminent nuclear threat": economic sanctions are working extremely well against the Ahmadinejad regime. They're working so well, in fact, that they've primed the country for revolution. According to Steve Hanke of the Cato Institute, Iran's misery index (a measure of quality of life taking into consideration inflation, lending rates, unemployment, and change in GDP), has gone hyperbolic over the last year, reaching historic levels. By comparison, Egypt had a Hanke misery index of less than 40 in the days preceding the "Arab Spring" revolution.
