CT Post: Anxious, hopeful voices of Iranian Americans in Connecticut color debate over strikes: Dan Haar

Ali Golbazi, professor of electrical engineering, who fled Iran around the time of the revolution, comments that, 'The great majority of Iranians, because of the 47 years of trying very different ways to get rid of them, I think they are majority welcoming the change in regime. Unfortunately, it has come to be done this way, but the majority of the Iranians are supporting the attacks.'
