I don't know how this will play out. If I had to guess, I would agree with you (though I'm almost reluctant to say it because "Wake up" is so obnoxiously condescending). But in fact we don't know. It's possible to despise the neocons and at the same time hope for the best.

What's the definition of "sovereign" in the dictionary you use? The Islamic Republic is a religious Nazi regime only ruling with bullets.
