However, I realize too that the very people I am "rooting" for, in spirit in their struggle against their theocratic dictatorship, are the same people who would like nothing more than to give each and American an acid bath.

Let's not pretend we're all friends here. I'm still pissed about the hostage taking 30 years ago.
do Iranian citizens have weapons?, or have the right to bear arms?
No, and that's just the way Obam.....I mean, the mullahs want it.
meanwhile, in order to be victorious they need to be as commited as the fanatical religious nuts who seized power in 79. That is where I see this coming up short, unfortunately
CA many of the people protesting in the streets of Iran weren't even alive in 1979, and just as many were too young back then to actually have an intelligent opinion one way or the other about their nation or the U.S.
The men in charge of Iran today, the ones these crowds are trying to bring down, they are the ones you should be angry about. There were active members of the 1979 Revolution. The protesters offer a new hope for that nation.
Unless I stand corrected, I believe that their guy, whom they believe the election was stolen from, was also a part of the movement that took our hostages. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
To hell with Iran. They hate us.
Who cares?isn't it really all bull**** anyways
isnt the Iranian president just a puppet for the Ayatollahs
can one puppet really be any better than another puppet
Who cares?
If it makes the people rebel the regime, it's good for the West.
I was kinda speaking on the concept of a different Iran, and not on the trail of corpses that will lead to it.If it gets all the young people slaughtered, who is it good for?

How can a result of a revolution be "no change"?Unfortunately, the most likely result of a revolution in Iran would be a trail of corpses and no change.
Good things are worth fighting and dying for.Also, I think you have to take into consideration things like trails of corpses when you suggest an action.

That doesn't make sense, revolution is change.
Good things are worth fighting and dying for.
I remind you that America's birth was full of corpses.
And besides, the current Iranian regime will lead its nation to war, that would probably cause even more corpses.
And we hope that it will.Only if successful.
Nobody discounts them, they are taken into mind.All true, but that does not mean we can discount those corpses.
And we hope that it will.
Just because there's a chance for it to fail doesn't mean that we shouldn't encourage the protesters.

The result would totally worth it.
What you are saying is almost like saying that we shouldn't send our soldiers to fight terrorists because they might die.
The protesters take the risk of death, just like the soldiers, in order to change.
I don't think we can speak of its chance to succeed at the present.That is not what I am saying. I am saying that I believe a revolution in Iran at this time is almost certain to fail, and no one gains.
Revolutions succeed when the people are possessed of sufficient will and not one moment sooner.That is not what I am saying. I am saying that I believe a revolution in Iran at this time is almost certain to fail, and no one gains.
Revolutions succeed when the people are possessed of sufficient will and not one moment sooner.
Whether that moment is now in Iran is something only the Iranians can determine.
If the protests continue, if there are repeated strikes, if the tensions continue, the revolution will succeed, and the Islamic Republic will fall.
This time may very well be the time for revolution to succeed in Iran.
Leadership yes. Weapons...not so much.It takes a bit more than just will. It takes leadership and weapons as well, to name just a couple.
I wonder how the Iranian's felt when it was our government flogging American protesters in the street, knocking them senseless with high-pressure water hoses and police batons and killing our college kids at Kent State?
In the annals of history, that really wasn't that long ago.
Something tells me they really didn't lose a lot of sleep over that.
Call me jaded. :roll:
