>">"No, what you seem to be trying to do is claim that because the regime that is the result of the Revolution did not deliver on all of its promises when the Revolution started, it is somehow a different regime?" Maybe you should reread your original where you say "the current Iranian regime." The current regime is the result of policies implemented by the Ayatollah after the revolution and implemented via his appointees on Council of Guardians - the body that oversees Parliament. "Current regime" means exactly that the regime as it exists today. And it is a very different regime than what existed in 1979. >"They're not exactly 'free' countries, are they now? Authoritarian countries would be a better title for you perhaps?" Please re-read where you stated the "US supports 75% of dictatorship." It has nothing to do with what's "better for me." Your statement is patently false. Let's not move the goal posts. And just to further illustrate this absurdity, Jordan which is on your "list", is neither authoritarian or dictatorial. It's widely considered to be something of a success story of democracy in the Middle East.
