And not one to which I would want to see US troops committed.
Exactly. From what I've read, Mr. Reza Pahlavi's words are in the right place, but that's it. So far, he's All Talk, No Shock (and certainly no Awe).
He and the Iranian "liberators" better do something soon to free their country, or we'll have to solve our own Iran problem, and we'll do it our way to our satisfaction.
I seriously think the feces will hit the turbine in the coming May "elections" in Iran. With any luck, we'll then see the mettle of Mr. Reza Pahlavi, and F14 Pilot, and Khashayar. For their sake, I hope they won't still be just whining here on Free Republic.
I think that apathy is the true guiding factor among Iran's young. Articles decrying that and the significant (and growing) drug/AIDS and unemployment problems have been popping up here and there (more there than here on FR). A young population without a directed anger and with just enough creature comfort to make life livable are not likely to take up arms against a repressive government.
I think you are just wasting your time. You have no idea what you are talking about and you are completely gone insane. I wish you a quick relief!
