Now, read & study more on Iran and you’ll understand what happened leading up to the revolution and since, and you’ll appreciate that the Iranian people have been prisoners, oppressed and terrorized by their leaders, not merrily living as America haters. The vast majority of Iranian muslims consider themselves secular muslims, not the zealots you seem to think they all are.

Then look at some photos of Iran, learn more about its history, culture and people, and you won’t refer to it as a “shithole”. It’s an incredibly beautiful country, rich in culture with people again & again described as the friendliest toward Americans, and most hospitable people in the world.

Winston is right – of course he is, he’s Iranian – the leaders weren’t elected or chosen by the people, they were appointed. Every election has been a sham not just this one. After all that’s been written on Iran in the past 2 wks, you should know that by now.

Iran was a great ally before its revolution 30 yrs ago, and will be again as soon as this rotten regime ends.

I think you need to read Amir Taheri’s book Persian Night that just came out. It’s an informative read. Then try Con Coughlin’s Khomeini’s ghost. Check Michael Rubin’s Eternal Iran. They’re must reads for anyone trying to comment on the Iranian issues.

Enough people bow to Khameni for Friday prayers in Tehran to tell me that to some, he is a good leader. And yesterday in Toronto I saw the Regime flag flying from a car. They have supporters. It’s just that for the last 10 days, their supporters have been out-numbered.

That’s where you’re wrong. Iranian regime has made Iran become a shithole of Islamic sort. You’re confusing and mixing the mullahs with the people of Iran. The people who are fighting this regime don’t hate the US or have no affection for the Islamofascists. I expected better from you on this though.
