From news that i have read, I am under the impression that Iran does have some form of democracy. Even if they are oppressed, it may be because their concensus is that it is necessary. For a long time Western governments did not have women vote either. Admittedly i do not know much about Iran, but i still think we should keep trying the peaceful route.

I do not think they are true either. Anyway I think discussing them is a waste of time. Getting a decent model of the state of the world might well be unattainable, so i think we should rather look at what we can do we are sure of can improve the world. (like
improving democracy)

Even if confrontation is around the corner, we should try not to be the cause of it.
