I wonder if they get to see the results of the survey? It would certainly empower them.

The Iranian, (Persian) people are not stupid but they are oppressed. The more of it they get the greater will be the payback.

Obviously the results were somehow manipulated by the evil JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS. Look for yet another message from Zawahiri (or whatever that caveman’s name is) saying such.

Word Count: 702

Keen observers of Iran have insisted for years that the Iranian people are pro-Western, indeed pro-American, while opposed to the largely unelected clerical regime that rules them. For the first time, Terror Free Tomorrow's unprecedented nationwide poll of Iran offers indisputable empirical proof that these commentators are dead-on in their assessment of the "Iranian street."

I have two Persian friends that both support the claims of this article. They have relatives in Iran.
