I agree actually. As oppressive governments go, there have been many that are much worse than Iran.
The main problem I have with Iran is not so much it's level of oppression as the fact that the Iranian government has access to potentially dangerous technology. Unlike a lot of liberals in America, I do not consider the Iranians to be idiots. It's only a matter of time before they get nukes.
But nukes alone isn't what makes them dangerous. It's the fact that they don't have to answer to their own people is what makes them dangerous.
Maybe you will succeed in transforming it into a democracy slowly. I sure hope so.
