Are you saying that Iran is less “tribal” driven than Iraq is?

Given the complexity and makeup of ethnicities, religions, education, and so on compared to Iraq, the answer is an emphatic: Yes.

That might seem logical remembering Iran during the Shah’s rule. They were much freer people and much more modern & western than today.

Much was freer during the Shah's era, no doubt. That era too had its shortcomings IMO - that's 30 yrs ago though. I don't think people now are looking for Perfection, only workable solutions. But, first IRI & its ideology must go.

Yes, all who are honest agree that IRI must go. And that will eventually happen.

But I fear for how extreme they will become toward the opposition before they exit. This would be over if the Iranian people were armed, but they are not.
