Re: I don't think the unelected leadership of Iran should be allowed to exist. And what do you make of the "unelected leadership" of China? Is China next on your "regime change" list? Sure. The Chinese have done pretty well for themselves in the past 25 years, but representative government should be an eventual goal. I think the Chinese do sort of have an elected government system, but they only have one political party. As far as I know any Chinese can join the Communist party and try to work his way up the ladder. It's not like Deng Ziaoping's kid is now the emperor. Oh, btw, Iran's President M. Ahmadinejad won the election by a landslide against rival Rafsanjani.... Yeah, but all the reform minded candidates were not allowed to run. I'm skeptical that if the Iranian public were allowed to vote on whether Iranians should be able to dance in a disco that they would say "nope, we shouldn't be allowed to dance".
