I was reading a story in the Newyorker that this death has unified the Iranian people against the US. I highly doubt that. I would bet a significant portion of the throngs that showed up for his funeral only went to make sure the SOB was dead.
@bigheadfred NOT to mention to make sure that THEY didn't pique the interest of the secret police to make sure they and THEIR families didn't end up in interrogation cells.
MOST people everywhere are not all that political. They mostly want to be left free to live their lives in peace,but when you live in a fundie police state,you MUST "play the game" or you and your family could face torture and execution for being suspected of being subservises.
Most of the people in the Muddle East have been living this way for so many generations that it is all they know.
