S.A.M.: "Wouldn't Americans be interested in an anti-US demonstration in Iran?"

Please refer to post #16.

Nobody doubts the dangers, but the inefficiencies of organizations inebriated on power has a comical aspect (especially towards the end of such a regime's life-cycle) and does provide a statistical sense of relative personal security. It's not such a good feeling of security as USAmericans have come to imagine, but it's good enough that a whole nation (on some lovely days) can freely tip their hats to a new revolution (so to speak). It also happens to be the source of my hope for the future of our species.

Tell it to those imprisoned and waterboarded by the US goverment.

The regime that implemented those policies was soundly beaten in the last election.

the word is due not do.

the u.s may (or may not) have supported a specific person but that was so long ago. and the u.s didnt put the fundamentalist government there.
