"The only hope is that moderate Iranians will take back their country from the lunatics that are currently in charge."

True. Until the 1979 Islamic revolution Iran was a progressive, even "Western" country. Well educated and pretty advanced according to an old friend who had been stationed there when he worked for the State Department. But by now a whole generation has grown up under Islamic stone age mentality and leadership. Are there enough moderate Iranians left to actually influence the country?
