President Bush has become President Ahmadinejad's greatest asset and is actively helping him retain power through this poorly-thought-out policy. |
This bit may come as a shock to "Voice", but I may well have missed the boat on this part. From my experience, Iranians (not-so-surprisingly, the ones who aren't in Iran) are very friendly, kind people - intelligent, too. It's always struck me that the Iranians outside of Iran are greatly more Westernised than their counterparts back home. In Iran, they sound to be strongly oppressed under harshly imposed Sharia law, with total unification of the government and the religious leaders (notably Grand Ayatollah Khamenei).
My point being that, either way, I can't see any form of uprising against Tehran (never mind a
coup d'etat). The Iranians aren't stupid, but they are repressed by their government, and George Bush is unlikely to be a factor behind whether or not an uprising would take place.

Sure, it's all fabricated by the media. You just keep telling yourself that.
You see, this is why I can't believe any of your 9/11 conspiracies. Everything I see you post is so far-fetched I cannot possibly pay any great attention to your opinion. It would, in fact, be inane of me to do so.

And vice versa for yourself. If it is an officially sanctioned view, you
cannot possibly believe it.

Riiiiight....
Now I'm sure you're nuts.
