Those poor Iranian people DESPISE their Muzzie overlords.
With US help, they could have been overthrown two years ago.
We could have done it in the same manner that we helped the Solidarity labor union in Poland. Thus the mullahs could have been brought down without the United States firing a shot. Call it asymmetric warfare. We were creative back in the eighties. Simple acts like Jeanne Kirkpatrick just reading off the names of the Soviet refuseniks before the UN General Assembly emboldened the dissidents behind the Iron Curtain. That was when the United States stood for freedom, and not bowing before dictators.
