Kudos to you for posting your touching account of the situation in Iran. I have no doubt that there is a vast reservoir of goodwill towards the U.S. among the younger generation of Iranians.

The collapse of communism is the most cogent example of how a radical change in Iran can be accomplished: once the despots who hide behind their religious garb are shown to be cowards, the average citizen will feel the urge to stop and shout "No more!" And then the end will swiftly come.

Although regrettable, it's likely that innocents will be killed in such an uprising; but as I say, if the people find that sacrifice to be worth it, then the battle for freedom will be on.

As far as U.S. involvement, don't count on it. There's no stomach among the sheeple here for an expanded war, and frankly we don't have the manpower to mount an invasion of Iran.

Thanks again for your comments.

Cheers.

Thank you for your kind words. Iran is nearing a tipping point and the mad actions of the mullahs in this election show me that they are scared- real scared. Iraq becoming a democracy is making them wet their dresses. No, war with Iran isn't feasible- but, there's no reason that we can't help the Iranians with that tipping point at least with moral support.
