The people are fed up with corruption and embezzlement. They object to censorship. The first thing that the people of Iran want is free elections.

Everyone's condition is different, and the way that each person lives his or her life is different.

I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected.
