1. I didn’t call for a revolution. I pointed out your gross mistake saying ‘no one’ wants a revolution. 2. When the time comes those in & out of Iran will do their part, me included. 3. You don’t speak for the Iranian people.

And neither do you, Rudi. I’m sick of expats who think they can change the regime with the blood of my cousins - especially from 10,000 miles away, comfy in their air-conditioned McMansion.

And I’m sick of Islamic Republic sympathizers #Iran

PS Rudi, I’m glad you’ve adopted the Islamophobic neocon tendency to call anyone who stands up for an Iranian’s right to self determination without American intervention a la Mossadegh as a sympathizer to theocracy.

That’s so inaccurate I’m embarrassed for you.

You just called me a regime sympathizer because I disagree with you. You’re a disgrace. You’re in the same BMW with all the rich orange county Persians that want young men to die for *their* war. If you want a war, go pick up a rifle. Otherwise, be a silent chickenhawk.

I’ve been to war. Several. And so I advocate for peace everywhere. The IRI you support has created war for #40years with its policies across the ME, so if I were you, I’d educate myself, and try to help your country achieve a democratic govt that takes care of its people. #Iran

And by the way, you’re putting words in my mouth. I never said I support the IR system. I support peaceful reform, and oppose any outside intervention. Western diaspora Iranians will suffer a fraction of the consequences. Its privilege.

Not a single one of those keyboard warriors will give up the luxury of living in the US. They are waiting for other people to die for the revolution they advocate.

Really? How do you know what I will do? Just because you are to comfortable or scared to go back don’t speak for me. I’ve been to many places you wouldn’t dare to go. So keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.

Kudos to the "mother of dragons"! Look forward to seeing you lead the revolution in Tehran! I would be more than happy to get you a ticket to Tehran right away.

I can buy my own ticket. You stay put.

That's a bit of a flawed logic, isn't it? How about those who are against major changes and are for slow reforms, such as yourself and the rest of NIAC, get on a plane to Iran and take part in reforming the regime?

I pray that Iranian people will soon remove the mullahs from power. It should be done via peaceful civil disobedience and never via the military of an imperialist power such as the USA-inc., which bears the biggest blame for Iran's current situation. 1953.

By the same stupid logic, simpler idea is that every single person in America - ESPECIALLY Iranian- Americans who are against another "revolution" in #Iran and therefore want the current power to keep ruling there should get on a plane and fly there and live under that POWER.
