Iran is democratic. US wouldnt give a damn weather Iran was democratic
or theocratic dictatorship as long as its government could be
persuaded to look after US interests. See KSA.



Iran is not a democracy since the clergy has a veto on all political
decisions including eligible candidates in elections. Which isn't to say
the current Iranian government doesn't enjoy popular support. It does, but
only because the majority of Iranians are poorly educated and constantly
exposed to indoctrination.


Hmmm...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the US president can veto political
decisions etc can't he?
