Oh, heck, I agree. I wasn't even considering nuclear weps.
The Mullahs have all the power, and the idea of a sucessful popular rebellion without help, is wishful thinking.
We did something similar to the Taliban. 8^)
oh sorry, I was confusing you with Kozak. My bad....
yes we did, except there the northern alliance had some weapons. Afghanistan was and really still is a buyers market for weapons.....
The Mullahs in Iran have had more time and are much more efficient than the Taliban was at that....
