You do know that they live in a totalitarian regime with murderous tyrants keeping a lid on their will?

How can you expect any awakening/uprising/change if the clueless West sits idly on the sidelines.

There have been many opportunities to destabilize the islamic regime. We did nothing except for some weak sanctions that the Europeans bypassed.

No Solidarnosc movement ala Poland. See how we supported the Eastern Europeans against Communism, it took decades to throw off the yoke.

It is unrealistic to expect isolated, disarmed and unsupported people to rise against one of the most thuggish regimes of all times on their own.

When the mullahs toppled the Shah, they were armed and supported externally.

Time to do that in Iran against the mullahs.

No time. It’s too late.

And I have never seen any evidence, nor personally believed, that the nuclear program did not have popular support. The people may want freedom but they also want Iranian nukes. And that can’t happen.

Yes I have followed Michael Ledeen, faster please, but he never explained how regime change even if it were to occur, would change the drive for nukes. It won’t.
