Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm not a regular here on the subcommittee, but I'm filling in for my colleague. I actually have many questions, and I was thinking of which question to ask.
I am familiar with a lot of these problems that were described. I grew up in Communist Poland, and in my youth we were also asking the question, “When is this going to end?” Nobody truly believed it would end in our lifetime, but it did happen.
I have a question. If the current regime in Iran collapses, how prepared are the Iranians to replace it with something that would lead to a fully democratic country?
