The people of Iran got the very government their parents and grand parents rioted for in 1979. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. And the Iranian people got it good and hard.
While not well understood in the West, Iran is almost equally divided between religious fanatics and folks who just want to live normal lives and be left alone.
Blaming the normies for their fate under the boot of the kooks is unfair and cruel.
