  Sure, but better for who? Most likely for the West I'd say. It's pretty bad for Persians as well but who knows what other leader would have done to them. If the regime falls I'd say good riddance but it's no guarantee for a better life or stability in the region.

      Saddam did stuff like that and he was secular. The original Shah also did things like that. It's not wise to downplay the value of democracy.

    > Sure, but better for who? Most likely for the West I'd say. Do you think people go fight their armed government known for heavily repressing any kind of protest for fun after work ?

    The people of iran will decide who it's better for, as is their right. I hope to wake up to see a free iran any day now.
