The one thing the Persians/Iranians have historically been consistent about is putting their country first. In a way it’s an admirable quality notably lacking in so many of our own public figures. But whatever form the regime takes, it will be an Iranian regime. They won’t dance to any tune but their own. The whole notion that this revolution will somehow make them our BFFs, like Poland after the fall of the Soviet Union, is complete nonsense.
You are right, but a new government will have to respond to the will of THESE people (the protestors) this segment of society doesn’t want wars, but economic prosperity, social freedoms and an opening up to the world. Else they would root for nutjob. They want to join the world, a no longer be the pariah.
They won’t offer us any bases or send an ambassador to Israel at first. But they won’t be able to indulge in the terrorism and warmongering of the current gang in power.
