I'm very well aware of the giant strides we are making there, and I'm aware of 99.9% of the people who support us there. I was pointing out Riverbend to you because you're basing your opinions on Iran on a few rich kids you happened to meet in college. Riverbend is the equivalant of those rich kids only she lives in Iraq. She's was greatly pleased with the way things were run when Saddam was in charge. Of course, she represents 1% of the people of Iraq, just like your friends probably represent 1% of the people of Iran.
(pssssst...the "person" you're addressing is against the strides for people "like that"...)
