#1 All wishful thinking. The Iranians are unhappy, true. So some drink. But that is only because they are pious Moslems who truly believe in the pure Truth of the Koran. Ask one.

There are also a lot of people who do hard drugs. Most of the Poppy crop in Afghanistan that is processed in Pakistan is distributed through Sistan Province in Iran. Dope is cheaper than a pint of milk, in Iran. But then the Iranians like rose water flavored Ice cream too.

I don't know what the Prostitution levels are among Moslems coming out of the Madrassas, but if you look at the lines in some secluded graveyards....

#2 A lot of people drink in supposed "dry" Islamic countries. Their laws worked about as well as ours did during the Prohibition era.

I see this as an opportunity. Cultural understanding and peace promotion. Kill the clerics and have a huge kegger with the people.

So simple it just might work!
