    I get your point, but it seems to me that you're continuing to couch your discussion in light of what the US did to Iran 30+ odd years ago. Sure I know all about the Shah, the CIA and SAVAAK. I did my undergraduate work on the Iranian revolution. Well aware of how the revolution then gained grip through Islamic channels, using religious meetings in mosques to build the revolution. It's also a fact that the largest generation in Iran has now grown up post-revolution. The territory and map no longer fit, and no I don't judge a country as pro-or-against the US by how many US flags it burns, but while the older islamic revolutionary forces were content to use the US as a scapegoat for it's political grip on the country this new generation sees through it, just the way many in the US finally woke up and realized that the "terror" thing was trotted out for political purposes. Just like islamic terrorism is still a threat to the US, the US itself has strategic influence on Iran, but there's no reason to blame the US for everytime someone sneezes in Iran anymore...I'm saying these people in the streets won't be bullshitted to anymore. If they succeed they might come around to burning a US flag or two in the streets, but there's no fooling them as to who's boot heel is currently stomping on their face, and it ain't ours. It's the forces that are supporting Almadinejahd.

    • No. I don't know what is happening and I'm not sure anyone does- the situation is fluid. What I would like to see is irrelevant.
