Yes, it's depressing, but actually, there are many similarities to here.
I don't think the majority of young people here are interested in politics or international affairs.
They're interested in music, and fashion and entertainment.
Obviously, as far as freedoms, there's No comparison, especially with Iranians living outside Tehran. And young people here have NO comparison for violations against human rights. (they don't have to worry about being arrested for improper attire or hand-holding)

The problem with waiting for "the egg to hatch", if I understand the author, is that time is running out. The world may not be able to wait for the end of incubation period. The regime can not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. If there's a way to speed up the 'hatching' process, let's do it. Let us help.
Sometimes, even baby chicks need a little help getting out of their shells.

They don't need regime change to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons. Israel took out Iraq's nuclear power plant, why can't they do the same with Iran's? Indeed why can't we take out N. Korea's power plants? It could save lots of lives down the road.

PS. I don't think Iranian's want US help anymore than the Iraqi's do.
