The repression is a lie, or a necessary price to resist U.S. imperialism.

What I don't get is how a victory for U.S. imperialism - if you accept that the fall of the Islamic regime would be such - would be in any significant way worse than what Iranians are experiencing now? The U.S. is having a helluva time running a puppet government in Iraq now. How could Langley run Iran?
