I have met a lot of wonderful Iranians living over here after Jimmy Carter sold them out to the murdering mullahs.
The last one was a young mother with a child the age of our grand daughter this past summer. At a park, her daughter and my grand daughter started playing together and had a great time.
My wife and I started talking to her, and very shortly into the conversation, I asked if she was Iranian. She got scared, and I told her not to be scared.
She said that she was Iranian and had fled. She and her husband while she was still pregnant got into Turkey somehow and ended up over here. They were terrified at the thought of bringing up their baby in Iran.
They loved America, but they will go back in a moment if their friends back in Iran overthrow the murdering mullahs.
When I asked her when the overthrow would happen, she said shortly after Saddam died, was killed or lost power. She said that the people in Iran feared Saddam more than the murdering mullahs. They tolerated the mullahs because they felt that they would offer some protection against Saddam. When he was gone, they would no longer tolerate the mullahs.

The mad mullahs in Iran are well aware of this too. Another politics-of-personal-power-reason that the 'evil' Coalition of the Willing should never oust Saddam.

A great story. I believe she is correct- and that she and her family will one day return to Iran.
