My concept of democracy is the real one, the only one, and that is what you enjoy in the west. It has nothing to do with sharia. I truly believe most iranians believe in a secular state. Just because the 1979 revolution was hijacked, it doesn't reflect the true spirit of the revolution. @Self-hating Boomer

I am speaking as an iranian and please don’t speak for me.

My concept of democracy is the real one, the only one, and that is what you enjoy in the west. It has nothing to do with sharia. I truly believe most iranians believe in a secular state.

Just because the 1979 revolution was hijacked, it doesn’t reflect the true spirit of the revolution.

If the Iranian people do not want to be fried in the crossfire they had better get rid of their oppressors now, before the Pharaoh and his lackeys get nukes and use them. Once they start lobbing nukes around, or giving them to terrorist groups, there will be no way to differentiate between the Iranians who support the Pharaoh and the others when retaliating. As for SM, his racist, fascist/communist ranting shows him to be suffering from terminal cranial rectal impaction.

Who cares if no one can speak Darri? Almost everybody in Iran speaks Farsi and a great many of them speak English.” The above is in reference to my earlier comment about the CIA's lack of language expertise which was based upon my recollection of reading Robert Baer's book 'See No Evil,' years ago. I have just found the reference. My recollection was incorrect in several details, but not in the conclusion that the CIA was extremely deficient in middle east languages. My memory was wrong about the purpose and language skills Baer was seeking for the CIA station in Dushambe in 1994 and which the CIA could not provide. He wanted to interview and possibly recrute Afghani refugees and he needed speakers of Dari and Pashtun the two languages of Afghanistan. He was informed that the CIA no longer collected on Afghanistan and therefore couldn't provide those languages. “kurt_jw:
