That's very moving! I can't say many international developments have filled me with optimism the past couple years. I want so badly for this to pan out for Iranians.

  > want so badly for this to pan out for Iranians Badly? You seem a little obsessed. The few anti-regime Iranians (who live in Iran) I know do not want to get bombed into freedom & democracy. The Western hubris despite Iraq and Afghanistan is back in full force, I see.

    No harm in wishing people well really.

      Hell of a way to wish them well by jeopardising their financial, political, social, and religious well-being.

        Neither of us were cheerleading the bombing. Just saying we hope things work out.

        tim333, I do believe you when you say you weren't. May be I am projecting and was out of sorts. Apologies.

    I appreciate the time you took to reply to my comment, but life is too short to engage in this style of argument.

      If you personally know Iranians (Persian, Azeri, Armenian, Kurds, Assyrian, Arab, Baloch, Tajik, Afghan etc) living in Iran or if you have connection with the land, that's fine. Otherwise, I find this kind of "obsession" a bit disturbing to the point of justifying actions of unhinged leaders in a very avoidable, unpopular, & potentially devastating war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior > life is too short Imagine surviving in war zones.

All I see is cameras panning around buildings, no humans in sight, and audio of cheering people. Not saying it's fake, but in the age of AI faking such a video is child's play. Too low signal-to-noise ratio for me to acknowledge any of this. We'll see how it will pan out for the Iranian people in due time.
