![Some conservatives here think that secular young Iranians would be happy if America would come and liberate them. What would you say to them?
Democracy, contrary to what they try to tell us, it’s not a paper that you hang on the wall and then you have a democracy. Democracy is a social evolution. It is something cultural. Iranians, they have become much more secular, and they are ready for democracy, but they have to fight themselves for democracy, and the only thing that other countries can do is to understand their fight and help them in their fight.
They [America] talk about the human rights in Iran … how is it that the United States makes the biggest deals with China, and China is far from respecting human rights? What about Saudi Arabia? If you want to talk about an inquisition, the Iranian regime is far from being an inquisition. We have almost a free press, people leave, women have the right to study, they drive, they work. Saudi Arabia, they don’t have anything like that! Talk about human rights in Saudi Arabia! Why doesn’t anyone go and put a bomb in Saudi Arabia and kill the king?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggl3xsbrjtolfrqlyfguuhhn/bafkreiek5jrc36kgwezmon64mwl54k65acol4x677hnmghv6rataurwsti)
![Do you think it’s ironic that, in the face of American threats, you almost find yourself defending the Iranian regime?
Absolutely, but if we want a democracy, the Iranian people have to do it themselves. The Americans say they want a democracy in Iran, and at the same time, when the Iranians wanted to become democratic in 1953 with [Mohammad] Mosaddeq and to nationalize our oil, the CIA came and made a coup d’état in my country. Why do you want me to believe that they want to come and make a democracy? We have to make our democracy!
There are many things that I wish for in my country — I want my country to be free, I want my country to be democratic, I don’t want any journalists to go to jail because of an article they wrote in my country. But if the United States of America attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the United States.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggl3xsbrjtolfrqlyfguuhhn/bafkreiemfkr64p2svts4gyoqs63u3ewapgbcfz4kg3syo53q5pdn353rcm)
