Another turning point?

There were plans of demonstrations today and I was ready with full force. Some who had said that they did not participate in the protests earlier said they would take part in this one and evidently it was seen as a turning point for further activities. It was notable that today was the tenth annversary of the student protest that took place in 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_student_protests,_July_1999) and it was surely the best excuse to catch attention of active dissenters.
Though we're not able to go and cover ourselves, many witnesses have sent us reports about how the protests were and according the them, the number of participation could have been limited. It's hard to see what really happened until the next day (maybe I'll never find out...) but obviously the number is not hundreds of thousands. (maybe not even thousands!)
I think the opposition has completely hit the wall and as everybody says, it's going to be an underground battle from now on. From now on, I think the real confrontation starts...
