The only "brainwashing" that I see is in pieces like this. This is nothing but spin. The Iranians just had elections, and they voted this terrorist in. Fine. As another poster noted, let them lie in the bed they have made.
This afterthink that the masses in Iran are actually pining after some other type of government has little to back up. We occasionally see some pictures of riots presented as if they were anything more than students occasionally raising some hell, as students do in plenty of other places such as South Korea.
Iran is a dictatorship genius. Did the people of Cuba elect Castro and people of Iraq elect Sadadm?

Hellloo???? Anyone home???
You're comparing Iran to South Korea??
Obviously, you're unaware that it's against the law for people to assemble in Iran. A small group of people standing around can be cause for arrests and charges of conspiring against the government. That's a very nasty charge.
This is one of the main problems that the people in Iran have, vs the people in say the Ukraine. They were allowed to assemble and march in the streets and thereby gather huge crowds of support. That's not allowed in Iran. So, anytime you see a group of 50 or 100 or 1,000 people protesting in Iran, that's very significant, because those people are risking their lives just to peacefully protest.
