Maybe it wasn't a typo. My wife was in Iran two years ago and said the Iranian People were very pro American. She was with a mixed group of Europeans, Arabs and Americans and the Americans we spoiled by the Iranian people she met. So, maybe it's not a typo. Knocking out the Mullahs may help us in Iran. (of course, maybe not).
Yeah, I've often heard that the Iranian people, despite their government, are the most pro-American in the Middle East. I even heard there was a candle-vigil after 9/11.
