> You are proving my point You are ignoring mine. Never taking responsibility means things will never get better in Iran. It's the conservatives that blame the US so they can keep control, it's the reformists that realize it's Iranians that will make change, and that can't happen until their admit they are in charge of their own fate. > Then I can rule as long as you want. Wrong. North Korea is the longest standing "authoritarian" state, and they are barely surviving. Their days are numbered. > Have you been in middle East? I live in the ME, and the refusal of anyone to look at themselves in the mirror when discussing the very real problems in their society is universal. Everything is a conspiracy, nothing is their fault. You aren't wrong in saying the west has been a negative influence in the region for peace and stability, but they are not in control anymore. Iran is a mess b/c of the fundamentalism at the core of Iranian society.
