I know maybe a linguistic forum is not a proper place to discuss politics but... what do you think about the situation in Iran? Will democracy win?

I believe it will. Maybe not this time, but it certainly will, especially after these events we witness today.

I wonder what you call democracy. If you call that form of government democracy then God save the world from this epidemic.
Just allow me to ask a question? When the US were placing war-heads in the Western Europe against the USSR who were they fighting with? The non-democratic commies? Now the communism is gone. Supposedly there is democracy in Russia now.
Who are the Americans fighting now there? Who are they placing the rockets against in Poland and Czechia? The answer is obvious, the Russians.
The same is with Iran. This is not the Iranian regime they are nagging at. These are the Arian Iranians who are like a but in the Israelis' throat. The same has been with Iraq.
Today Yankees are in Afghanistan. Are the Afghans treating them any better than they used to treat the Soviets before? Don't be deceived, democracy is not quite a universal thing that fits every nation. And I am afraid it will take the Americans a pretty long time to realize that.
