Seems strange that we don't see people in the streets rioting against these "repressive regimes" as they did with the Shah.

The fact is that these types of regimes are what the people there have always preferred, and all the huffing and puffing by the United States and people like you is not going to change this reality.

Might want to do a little research into current events. Plenty is happening in both Iran and Iraq. The natives are definitely restless. However, just because you believe man's "natural" state is one of oppression under tyranny, doesn't mean that people will stop rebelling against same. Nor will we (USA) be deterred from removing WMD threats against our people. Get use to it.
