That is all so very true, and they would likely have a 21st century democracy were it not for the looming threat of U.S. military action, which helps keep their despotic regime in power. They are young, educated, and desperately wish to be a part of the civilized world without economic sanctions. Pres. Obama was facilitating this transformation before the neocons v.2.0 pulled the ole' switcheroo.
Iran used to be mostly secular until we meddled in their business.
Funny how that works.
Heck, Iraq was ruled by Saddam who was secular and crushed the fanatics when they entered his country.
Now they are ruled by the Shia's, the same running Iran lol.
Which means nothing of the sort. Unless you are claiming this about claims from the majority of politicians
Yea, all politicians work for their deep pocket masters while filling their loyal fans with dog **** lol.
It is like watching football in a way.
You have the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers for example.
You have the imbeciles rooting for each team as if they represent their home state.
Majority of the members on each team were probably born in some other state and the owners as well.
The team members are not working for your state, they are working to get that big fat paycheck and then retire in some other state lol.
A military crisis perhaps, but not the economic crisis that will plague you for generations.
There's a reason why you need Iran.
Elect whoever you want. It matters not. You can elect Martin Luther King, Sonny & Cher, Bono, any of the Kardashians, Biden, Bernie, Warren, Harris, and when the opportunity presents itself, you'll be there.

So if the American people do not wish a war with Iran and other people have a different opinion and also control our country, who are these people Americans should be attacking since they clearly do not represent the wishes of the American people?
Across America, on forums, in real life, at work and so on, no one wants a war with Iran.
Who are these people we should be putting 6 feet under that say otherwise?
The war hawks are staging another false flag attack. It makes no sense at all for a country one fifth the size of the US and without armed forces of the US to attack. Remember that last false flag war?
Iraq. 8,000 Americans died and over a million Iraqis died and no weapons of mass destruction were ever found. Now we have Israel and Saudi Arabia pressing the US to attack Iran and our looney war hawks like Bolton are happy to accomodate them.
Are you ready to have your children and grandchildren slaughtered in another senseless war?

The part that confuses me is Iran is bad because they sponsor terrorist. But 9-11 was sponsored by Saudis and we sell them lots of weapons.
They are both bad in their own way. Neither Saudi Arabia nor Iran should be supported while they wage their religious war on one another.
Israel is the best country in the ME, but other than some financial support, the US should not engage with Iran on their behalf.
The interesting thing is that Netanyahu, while being a rather hysterical person, is actually right about Iran,but that is mostly in relation to Israel itself as opposed to the US. Iran has been using it's proxies in Syria and Lebanon to attack Israel. They don't have the means to directly attack Israel and any potential nuclear fallout would also harm neighboring countries, which would backfire on Iran, and that's the last thing they want.
The reason they've taken a more proactive role against Israel is so that they can gain an upper hand in the Islamic world. Since Iran is the de facto leader of Shias (which account for about 20% of all Muslims), it needs to find a way to uproot Sunni domianance. What better way to do so then to target the one nation that inhabits contested territory (Israel)? The Muslims world would love nothing more than to claim Jerusalem and establish a global caliphate (this idea long predates the establishment of groups like ISIS). If Iran can lead the charge in that, it will gain a massive foothold. If you exclude the intervention of foreign powers in that area, such as the US, Europeans on one side and the Russians on the other, whose goal is to acquire resources in that area, then there is a large religious war that's been playing along for a long time. Sunni vs Shia and Islam vs Israel.
But other than that, I fully agree with the notion that war with Iran would be a severe mistake and that the Saudis are just as problematic.

Like Mircea who says for economic reasons , you are bringing a religious angle . Both are non sense. It could be only one of the two things .
1) Israel wants them gone, because the Persians are much brainier and potent than the Sunni bedouins.
2) The globalists are eyeing their markets ( especially the banking cartel) . Otherwise why should they threaten other countries to stop doing business with them and strangle them.
And 1 and 2 are very closely related.
And remember since WWII and formation of Israel only the allied powers have been in war world wide continously.
