Let me begin by saying not only you can't have democracy with $75 million. You can't even have it with $750 billion.

Three of our provinces have seen mass uprisings. The three provinces are Khuzestan, Azerbaijan, and Kurdistan. Recently, we witnessed massive demonstration by Iranian woman in the 7th of Tir square, and it was brutally suppressed.

Today, as a result of a miraculous set of circumstances, Iran is going to get between $50 to $55 billion in oil revenue, which is unheard of in the history of the revolution.

The modern infrastructures that exists in the world all contribute to the advancement of human rights and democracy.
