Though they might want to invest in some kevlar before the next attempt.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Doesn't mean they should stop trying.
But it does mean that Khameini is powerful and ruthless enough to stop any meaningful attempt at reform. Just look at the Green Revolution; Mousavi ran on a campaign of reform, and when it became clear he could win, they rigged the ballots. When the people called bullshit and protested, the government arrested them and nothing changed.
I’ve heard it was Einstein who said that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Or maybe it was Rita Mae Brown, but whoever said it, it’s certainly relevant.

Fucking idiotic reply. Yeah, a "fuck all polls" option really highlights our intelligence. 
A-G-N-O-S-T-I-C,
You are correct when you point out the advantages of many European countries over the USA in quality of life issues for average persons. You oversimplify things, though. While you correctly site the USA as the most powerful military force on the planet, you neglect to mention that:
The USA remains at the forefront of science and technology. Are you aware of Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla and SpaceX? When asked why he migrated to the USA from his native South Africa, he replied, "Great things are done here."
He was right. Great things are still done here more than anywhere else. I don't know how much longer that will remain to be true but as of now, the USA is the premiere economic power on the planet and still provides the most fertile ground for doing, "great things."
I am open to your criticisms because this country is far from perfect but we are still pretty good.
Keep telling us how we can improve.
Iran has been completely colonized by developed countries.
New colonial style.
The Iranian government is the puppet of the United States and Europe, but it says: Death to America!
No hope for the Iranian people to wake up! They are sleeping like Americans !!!
America:
I do not mean that the American people are awakening a communist approach.
You should not fall from the pit to the well.
American financiers went to China to show people that they were not willing to spend for the nation!

Iranian intellectuals did a foolish job:
Khomeini was not objurgate, and he was supportive!
Of course, the Islamic government is a handyman of the United States.

Yeah, but don't fucking take all day. We really need the help over here. We are exceptional in our current degree of fuckeduppedness. Second to none.

And we at least make some sort of pretense that we can actually be helped.

I found the poll to be lacking sufficient options. There are many reasons that Americans might be relatively careless compared to Scandinavian countries. We are far more diverse than Scandinavian countries with a history that includes genocide, slavery, attempted separation of the North and South, Jim Crow, and numerous wars and 'police actions', including the Cold War with the PRC and Soviets. Part of the answer to any question about what's wrong with America is 'history'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
