I have been accused of cherry picking my quotes. I would suggest that this is precisely what those who are arguing the other side are doing. For instance, they are completely ignoring anything members of the Iranian government are saying that doesn't support their view of Iran and their desire to wage war against that country.


I never said they have freedom in Iran. I said they have free and open elections, and I said that the people in Iran want to sort out their problems themselves without the interference of Western governments. I think they have more of a right to decide that than Iranians living in other countries, since the ones living in other countries don't have to live with the consequences of that interference. The ones still in Iran do have to live with those consequences.
