"The Iranians ultimately overthrew him, no thanks to us. No wonder they came
to hate us."

Some weeks ago I watched a TV interview with a few of the Iranian "students"
who invaded the American embassy in Teheran and held the diplomats hostage
for 444 days.  In so many words, they all said they were wrong at the time
and the oppressive regime that replaced the Shah's was far worse.  They
stopped just short of saying that if they knew then what they know now, they
would never have done it.  I think they were a bit (a lot) scared of saying
anything more than that but you could see it in their eyes.

At any rate, it is my understanding that the situation in Iran is nearing
the explosive point and the population is fed up with the Mullahs and want
them gone.  They definitely do not hate us.
