Re: IRAN's Persian Luck...
Iranians are interesting. They are a democracy albeit a theo-democracy.
Iran, its people and enormously long history of culture are indeed very interesting. However, they are not a democracy, just like Hong Kong and Russia are no longer democracies, as no one can stand for election that oppose the current regime's views in any meaningful way. In fact, simply expressing a view can get you jailed or result in an accident involving a high hospital window.
Aren't the religious right in murica also interested in this sort of thing for their Middle Eastern Religion too? Sure they are... How many Southern Fried Idiots have you heard say, "We need to bring God back into our Government." I thought Trump was God... My heavens didn't the colonist learn a damn thing about secularity from the Church of England?
Sadly I have to concede you have a point there.
