...Honestly, I don't know how this will ultimately play out... (((sigh)))...

I don't know how it will end up either. But the youth of Iran strongly support the USA and want to create a new government built on a secular democracy. My heart goes out for these young people wanting the same freedoms we tend to take for granted.

Check out my daily thread some time.

They give me hope for the middle-east.

It won't happen. Because the Islamic faith is diametrically opposite the freedoms of the USA. Islam espouses the conversion of all to Islam, or face the consequences (up to and including death).

Such freedoms as the USA has, can never co-exist with a religion built on forced-submission to the faith.

While the "separation of church and state" is not an article of the Constitution but a basic principle of its' construct, a secular democracy is inherently unstable, and will not survive...
