Maybe. Or maybe Iran can form a government that separates Religion and State while allowing something along the rights of free speech and religion.

Radical eh? Some country has been trying that for 250 years. It's been a little messy, but I kind of like it.

A lot of Americans are selling Iranian people short. Kind of like Democrats do to my black countrymen.

I hope you’re right. But I’m old enough to recall when the Shah was re-installed by the CIA in 1979 and the prevailing opinion then was that fundamentalists didn’t have a chance against Phalavi. Yet they prevailed because westerners don’t understand that middle easterners have more loyalty to their religion, sect and tribes than they do to political boundaries and politicians. The westernized Iranians are too few in number to prevail over the Mullahs and their followers.
