Me: Actually, the IRanian people are overwhelmingly pro USA.

You: Uh-huh....they said the same thing about the Iraqi people.


Iran is a completely different culture. You have to understand this, the Iranians are more like Europeans. They aren't Arab. And they aren't at all like Iraqis, the Iranians are an educated people. They were once westernized.

The Iranians had some freedom under the Shah. They were westernized then. By the way, we installed the Shah.

But absolute power corrupts absolutely and the Shah started restricting freedoms ect. What most of the Iranian people wanted was a full fledged democracy, so they overthrew the Shah in the 70s. Unfortunately, then the Mullahs came to power and freedom was restricted further.

The Iranian people are not at all like the small faction of religiouse fanatics who control them. If we invaded Iran, I guarantee Iranian people would be cheering in the streets.

Unlike Iraq, Iran is a more civilized society. And they're educated.
