    I mean I was talking about the same hypothetical as you were. You wouldn’t support the will of the people in a situation where it was to take down the theocracy and I would. I wouldn’t be speaking for anyone, just supporting their own will in that situation.

            What if the Iranian people don’t agree with your view of the “real world” and what they should do, according to you?
