Bit simplistic, I know several Iranians who have fled in recent years due to the lunacy.
Bet they still believe in god though 
If 90% of them hate their Govt why don't they do something about it? Rake up some AK47s and take over etc.
After all, I'm sure he'd be keen to do so, rather than be seen as some form of arm-chair harsewhype, happy to spout forth about how they should go about dealing with their own brutally repressive regimes, without actually having some of his own skin in the game.
