I wouldn't mind seeing some closer ties with iran as well, but given regime change from a logistical standpoint, how do you account for that mssion being carried out in terms of men, financing, and material?
Regime in Iran has change so much in past 15 years. Current president is quite wise guy who keep religios leader under certain preasure. He achieved a lot of things whitch they didnt like, but they had to allow them. He walk slowly but w/o thousands of wasted lives.
Religios goverment is loosing popularity slowly but surely. It will be gone or tranformated in 10 years. Because of current goverment even islam as religion is not that popular as it were before. But moral attitude of islam is still nature of those people.
I said before, you will meet many people who will speak like this.: " I dont like our goverment, i hope they will be gone soon. But if US invade iran i will fight agains US. If they will come as tourist i will be happy to invite them to my house"
Sutch point of view will be held by majority in next few years.
Its funny that they still didnt foget how many bad things US did overthere regarding domestical politic in 70's. And they know very well friends of SH from 80's.
Actualy US support most odd goverments in ME.
SH (dictator), SA (kingdom), UAE (kindom)....
If world will be open to Iran, Iran will be open to world. If world will be agressive to Iran, Iran will stay closed.
Actualy people of Iran are allowed to travell where ever they want. You can not see them much, because they are not welcome since US started to spread so many 'accurate' informations about them.
