"I want to live - and if I am to die for something, I wish to die voluntarily and for my own ideals, and I wish to emphasise that I can only decide for my own life, and not for 25 out of every 1000 Iranians [an estimate of how many people will perish if a military strike were to happen]. I wish to know for what and for whom I die. Neither the US, nor NATO, nor indeed any other coalition with no matter how many flags on top of it, authorised by I could not care what organisation, has the right to impose on me as an Iranian living in Iran any "humanitarian intervention". I could not care any less if these bombs were guided by laser or by God Almighty Himself. I refuse to accept the risk of being among 25 in each 1,000 who shall die, and you sir [addressing a militant military interventionist heralding from NED] so long as the chance of your being among these 25 is zero - because you live in Washington DC and from each side of your location you are safely distanced from here by an ocean and a couple of continents - please keep your opinion to yourself about me and people like me who live in Iran, and kindly do not add any more fuel to the fire of foreign invasion. That is all."

Realistically, military action is completely independent of Iranians outside, whether some are assholes or not and whether they support it in some form or not. The only thing that can prevent the military action is actions by Iranians inside by trying to remove the current regime. So, I think it does not matter what Iranians outside think, the solution is inside Iran.
Any sort of Military action !! interesting.
Not that I am Pro military attack on Iran NOW but the question that when is enough is enough comes to mind ?
what have we lost in past 33 years under this regime ? billions of dollars wasted, lost Caspian Sea, Lost Lake Uromiyeh, economical set back for at least 50 years, loss of 1000s of innocent lives, .... the list goes on and on ... maybe thanks to the new IR government, we can add another war to this list in few years and lost of billions of dollars more and ....
A patient with cancer can live without arms, legs and be in the life support but is that really living? That is question that MAJORITY of Iranian need to answer , both in Iran and outside and if they don't, the International community will answer for them, because virus can spread and world is just one small back yard now.
I am against Military attack on Iran NOW but if we ever get to where Libyan were or Syrians are, then I do support air strike to help Iranians who had the courage to stand up against the injustice.
Right now, our people are HAPPY with the way things are so let them be
Plus, the immigration has become so easy that anyone with university degree can immigrate here now if they are unhappy. In the past 1.5 year, I have 2 doctor friends ( both specialist) and another one with PHD in electrical engineering who migrated here, so things are not that BAD

The majority of us hate the Iranian Islamic government and wish that they would disappear and take Islam with them to their heaven and we would wish them best luck. But rapes, tortures and killing later, we know they dont go away.
We want others to do our dirty work, but rest assured, no one does anything for free. Sure US and others would bomb the hell out of iran, and get rid of the Islamic government, but then you would be in debt to them for decades to come. And democracy would be the last thing offered on the platter.
I think we Iranians outside of Iran are clueless and filter everything through our vision here. Those inside of Iran are extremely impressive. The opposition in Iran are not being patient. Patience is not on the best thing but perhaps the better thing. Lets hope there is no attack. This government will not last and democracy will be on the way. My concern is there will be an attack by Israel to ensure no democracy sets in Iran.
