Iran

[EasternVol]

@EasternVol I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Not looking for gotcha material. Even though we disagree on much I still respect your opinions/view.

I appreciate that. Other than the X reposts here by @MAD, the coverage I've seen highlights strong dissatisfaction with the economy, which is a train wreck, as the protesters' motivation, with little or no mention of calls for return of a Shah. My main sources are CNA (Channel News Asia), DW, France24 and the NYT.

This is encouraging then, an organic revolution. I want nothing to do with their politics, in so much as we are involved. Nothing good for us or them comes from it. Once the dust settles I wouldn't mind reaching out to see how we can help them build their economy and join in promoting their and the regions long term prosperity.
