I was talking to this Iranian pastry chef I know about events of late. More than anything I wanted to get his impression of how the usual Iranian felt about their Government. He threw together a scenario that reminded me of the song "Who are the brain police" (Frank Zappa and the Mothers). Typical of a state of fear no one will speak out against the govt. since more than likely they, their family and friends will mysteriously disappear. He told me basically that 90% of Iranians don't like their gov't and out and out despise the hardcore mullahs and imams to the point that they can't travel without a large contingent of bodyguards. While he said that he could return to Iran any time for a visit, while in country he'd have to be very careful about what he said......
