The death toll of the Iran-Iraq war has essentially created a great generational rift in Iran -- the current population of people under 25 there is huge (~50%) and they aren't exactly pleased with the hard line government.

Here's to hoping there is revolution and positive change for them in this.

Of course the theocrats will try to distract the public by focusing on the evil outsiders so things could get a lot worse before improving.
