By the way, I don’t want to discount this. From the reporting I’ve seen, a lot of Iranians are overjoyed over the death of the Ayatollah. And I’m among those who really like the Iranian people, and know that they are open to a progressive democratic society.
I’m just too dumb to understand how a bunch of citizens, who otherwise have jobs and lives, are supposed to coalesce - Voltron-style - into a functioning government. Especially if the country isn’t going to be invaded by ground forces (something that may not be logistically feasible: Iraq had a population of about 25 million people in 2003; Iran has about 90 million).
And my biggest concern is that the current American/Israeli administrations haven’t sufficiently planed for the future, either. At least not to a serious degree.
ETA: I can’t read the crown prince’s editorial. Does he have any specific plans?
