yes, I'm expecting that we all agree on Iran.
the citizens of iran who are risking their lives by participating in the protests are the true revolutionaries, not the religious elite who use the power of the state to suppress them. the elite are truly nothing more than 21st centiry fascist.
what there might be disagreement on is how our government should react to the situation in iran. it is a difficult balancing act to be supportive but also not to become a player in an internal affair.
so far we seem to have done just that. at the same time if we can provide aid to any country's citizens in their desire for free speech and basic rights, we should.
iran is just a bit more difficult due to the history.
