Because Iran is a developed country and the Iranian population actually has a future if they take their government back from the clerics? Hell, in the next 30 or so years oil will disappear from the middle east, and Iran is just about the only country that has a realistic shot at still having an economy after that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Libya was pretty developed with an educated population, decent economy etc too, more developed then Iran I'd say.. look how that turned out. State collapse is no joke. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Because Iran is a developed country and the Iranian population actually has a future if they take their government back from the clerics They're talking about the current regime, from which it isn't clear the population will ever successfully take back their country. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> if they take their government back from the clerics? They took back their government and they “gave” it to the clerics back in C20 The Iranians by and large have the state they want. Strong parallel with Irish history where independence brought about a theocratic Junta. That only went away with deeper integration into the European economy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
