Nobody should question the will it took by Americans to get this far this quickly. That there were lucky breaks and great timing, though real, is only a small ingredient in this big pie. That said, I resent, and so should any open minded poster here, that this makes any typical Iranian (or from any other nationality) automatically lesser than Iowanians of this world. That is racism to the core. The entire point of this argument is that people should be judged by their heritage customs and culture and not their political leadership.
