Iran's game, Canada's move posted by CCD Press Release
I agree that we must make a move against this tyrannical regime. However, we must be mindful of ordinary Iranians. I have heard people believe that if we inflict pain on ordinary Iranian citizens that they will rebel against their infrastructure. First, they most likely don't have the resources to rebel and second, the Iranian government (I will not capitalize the "g" because its not worthy of being capitalized here) will blame Western influences and further galvanize support (sort of a Stockholm Syndrome effect). Ordinary Iranians have the most to lose from all of this.
Western Governments must do more to support ordinary Iranians and help them through this difficult time. That being said, I do not know how to do that. Maybe others know how to do this better.
