he also said most iranians do have grievances with the US that go back to 1953 and the subsequent Shah despotic rule.

Half the country wasn't born at the time of the revolution in 79, let alone have any clue about the 1950s.

These kids want freedom. They see it coming next door in Iraq and they want it for themselves. They were shut down the last time they rose up but they're not willing to accept that now that the Iraqis have theirs.

Meanwhile, the US, with its incompetent foreign policy, is MIA. Nowhere to be found. Afraid to get involved. Cowering in fear.

This is OUR moment as much as it is theirs. We've been patiently waiting for 30 years to see this happen, and our current president is afraid to so much as make a positive comment on it.

Gross incompetence. I don't think even Jimmy Carter would have been this weak under the same circumstances.
