"And while a great many sins of their fathers may now be on the hands of the sons of Iran, do you mean to tell me that the population is so collectively blind to not see the elections were a total fraud? Why are they tolerating this? Why are they more interested in going into Iraq to fight US servicemen that bring about meaningful change at home? Where is all this Iranian pride I always hear about?"
First of all, I never said that the population is blind, you did. Second, many in the population of Iran does know that the vote was a complete fraud. What do you want them to do about it? Rise up? They have no weapons, the mullahs have all the weapons. They would be slaughtered. What good does that do?
Third, you are correct that there are many who are joining up to go to Iraq against our troops, but this is a very small percent of the population, it in no way represents the majority.
Where is all the Iranian pride? Check here and learn what is now going on in Iran both with the students that hate the leadership, and the leaders, and those who support the leaders. You will find that the Iran of 1979 is not the Iran of today, except a fairly small percentage.
