    Wow, what an interesting interview. It definitely is forcing me to rethink my view of Iran. I have to admit that with the recent growth in the strength of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard that Secretary Clinton discussed, it’s hard for me to picture Iran as a beacon of democracy. Perhaps, though, this just speaks to the fact that there’s not one “Iran” but a lot of diverse groups and interests there. Thanks for a great show.
