#1 Too bad the Iranians aren't stringing up these Muttawah bullies. If they were, I'd feel sorry for them. Since they aren't, they deserve it. Long ago the mullahs passed all boundaries of acceptable rule. The Iranian people are idiots for enduring it.

This is purely anecdotal but I think illustrative: I have several online acquaintances from Iran. They are all young and very much into American culture [I wonder what the culture police would think of their preferences for Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Slayer, Quentin Tarrantino films, etc.], but they are also heavily into drugs. They seem to just want to escape the madness by getting as stoned as they can. This fits with reports I've read of >20% drug addiction among young Iranians. For their sake, I don't discuss politics with any of them so I can't really gauge their politics, but I definitely get a sense of Persian pride and nostalgia.
