iran's third generation

Thomas L. Friedman, NYTimes: "This Third Generation of Iranians is quite different from its counterpart in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a country getting younger, poorer, more Islamic and more anti-American; as young Saudis react against what they consider a corrupt, irreligious, pro-American regime. Iran is a country getting younger, poorer, less Islamic and less anti-American; as young Iranians react against an anti-American theocracy, isolating them from the world."
