Manufacturing Consent

I'll give the author some credit, he is probably not a lib. But in his own words:

Once the strength of the Iranian government has been collapsed there will be a power vacuum that is filled by whatever faction is able to secure control, and the strongest faction will be whichever one is backed by the US and its allies. There is no organic faction within Iran that is strong enough to stand against the installation of a US puppet regime at this time, besides the one that presently exists.

The best most perfect government just happens to already exist in Iran and there is no reason to change it. The status quo is fine.

I say it's socialism or barbarism and Iran is pretty barbaric. Meanwhile, Iran becoming a pre-1979 US puppet state again isn't going to happen, the current US Admin is too myopic for that, so I trust the persian people to do better. Do you?
