True democracy is the ability to choose your government and then choose a different one if you end up not liking the one you initially chose. The Iranians did choose theocracy to begin with. I'll concede that. But since then, they've been locked in. They have not had any real meaningful choice in their government since then. They fell into the trap that all early democracies have to strive to avoid. Remember, people are only free to the extent that they exercise their freedoms. The Iranians lost their freedom long ago to the mullahs...and they want it back. Most Iranians I talk to here in the U.S. would give anything to get back their country from the mullahs. It's a real tragedy.
