Well it seems they blew the hardliners away in the election.. good for them.
We will have to see how this turns out, but for now it does not look bad at all:

Before and during the days of the Shah, Persia/Iran was a striving country. The Shah's dictatorship, torture and suppression lead to the rise of the Ayatollahs, you can imagine what the Shah was like, when they preferred a cleric madman like Chomeini.

Anyway iranian terrorists are relatively rare, so it does not quite fit in this thread.

Of course, just of all Saudi-Arabia now tries to stab Iran.. seems apart from Shiite and Sunnite there are also other axes they like to grind. And of course, saudi-arabian terrorists do not exist, in the US media. Such a great ally.
