Sound familiar?
The cities and larger towns are full of "educated elitists". Debauched places where there are western ideals like democracy, civil rights, cultural freedoms - all the things that make your kids disrespectful and want to move away to live their own lives, instead of remaining to be part of the local traditional hierarchy where everyone knows their place and life proceeds as it should.

That's what keeps the Ayatollahs and their councils in power in Iran.
The same thing that keeps getting the GOP elected. Rural fiefdoms fearing the loss of their local importance and autonomy in an expanding world.
Bombing Iran will not cause doubt in the local populations and trigger an overthrow of an unreasonable government; that sort of action never has throughout history. It only entrenches the existing government.
