Yes, any problem with that?
I was providing an explanation why an ethnic people would be protesting their own country: These are second and third generation Americans of Iranian extraction whose fathers and grandfathers owed alliance to the Shah who attempted to Westernize his country.........and was thrown out and persecuted because of his allegiance with the US and Western 'ways'. They left Iran because they were the businessmen and the intelligensia of their country who would be in prison for not going along with the the radicals that took over Iran. They don't particularly like the Imams and Mullahs.
How many of your Iranian friends have served in the United States armed services?
I have no bloody idea, my friend.
But, just the same as we have gathered Iraqi nationals to form a "government-in-waiting" for when we liberate Iraq we may need these people to lead their countrymen when Iran's Mullahs are finally overthrown. Alternatively, some may in fact be working for the US military and the CIA already, since we desperately need 'native' speakers over there, and here, to translate al Qaeda and Iranian communications.
