And again you miss the point. Moderation has been happening, over time, in Iran. Do you want that process to continue, or not?


Moderation? Like when they threw all but the hard-liner candidates off the ballot in the last elections? There is no moderation! There is just an increasingly shaky and violent attempt of the hard liners to hang onto power against a young population (majority under 20) who wants them out. There have been riots in the most of the major cities, some of which have been put down violently with Revolutionary Guard thugs.

Moderation, indeed.
