yeah... this is certainly a delicate situation. i've spent a lot of time working/studying with iranian immigrants... i'm always struck by their work ethic and pro-western mindset.
i've heard countless stories from them about this very phenomenon... that a very large part of the populace (relatively speaking) is pro-american. this doesn't jive with the tv snippets of anti-us demonstrations... but i believe it to be true nonetheless.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
