[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I saw an intresting interview on Tavis Smley's show just now (though I generally find him an annoying bootlicker)- it seems that 70% of Iran's population is under 30 years old and is actually pretty moderate, while the ruling party is very extreme. Seems they had a sorta post-war baby-boom. The woman being interviewed,Lila Azam Zanganeh explained that there after the Iran/Iraq war ended (with more than a million dead in the conflict!) and that the masses voted for the current batch of bozos because previous (more modrate) regiemes were ineffective in many ways- mostly monetary issues but also in basic services. She feels that Iran's retoric is mostly talk, but they need to be catious- by both the international community and by their own people, but that if the people of Iran feel threatened by another country (Britan, America, The Caman Islands, etc.) they'll rally around their leaders out of intense nationalist pride. Even if they dont really [i]like[/i] their leaders. She also thinks the media are hyping Iran's usual rhetoric (though I dont agree completely with this). Heey! I found a [URL=http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200604/20060414_transcript.html#1]transcript.[/URL] I may pick up her book to read some of the essays therein. She's pretty hot too. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
