It makes you realize how lucky we are to live where we do. I suppose that Iranians only know their own political system, so they have to live with it for now. But with the world becoming smaller, they're exposed more to the democratic process and see how the rest of the world lives. This more than likely will lead to questioning of the government there and more uprisings.

And just to point something else out, Spence. The phrase "other alternative" without first giving an alternative, makes no sense.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
