My Iranian friend (who visits there freely) tells me that there is a great deal of foment among the enormous numbers of young Iranian people, and that it is only a matter of time before they overthrow the theocrats who really control the "government", such as it is. And, he says that the young kids are heavily pro American.

When you're hungry, and you see the clerics living large, the situation is ripe for revolution
