Stingidly, what flavor is that Kool-Aid you are drinking?
Iran a "somewhat" oppressive regime? They are not even allowed a free and open election much less free speech. You may not like the Jews but how can you defend Iran? They have the whole middle east scared including Saudia and the UAE.

And why should health care be a government requirement?
