​

From my home in San Francisco,

I see videos of protestors in Tehran

striving to topple the regime.

​

This is a dangerous game!

The West – specifically the USA – can help

protestors with covert action;

But ultimately the Iranian people must change their government.

​

History of US intervention in Iran is too complicated

for the US to do the final change;
Iranian protestors must figure this out.
This is difficult because the Iranian government is lethal;
They jail, kill, and tortue people.

 

Iran has a very impressive culture and history.

It is unclear when they will be free

of the repressive theocratic government.

Iran's regime has been crushing the human spirit for decades;

I wish the Iranian protestors well.
