I wish people would stop talking about the "regime," as if nobody in Iran supported it. This "regime" stuff is a technique people use so as to be able to say, "I don't have anything against the Iranians -- I'm just opposed to the regime!" But the regime _IS_ the Iranians, or at least a lot of them. Probably most. Ditto Saudi Arabia by the way.
