Iran “Wishful Thinking”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that the threat of a U.S. or Israeli military strike against Iran was no longer an issue because "they don't have the courage" to attack Iran.

Fielding a question on whether he feared an attack from Israel or the U.S., Ahmadinejad said a military strike was no longer a possibility.

Inside Iran: A Rising Chorus

TEHRAN, Iran - It was never supposed to turn out this way.

"We had this idealistic dream that Islam would solve all our problems," an Iranian Christian said.

So much was promised. So little was delivered.

"We had hoped that this religion would save us and give us a better life," another Iranian believer said.

The goal was to raise a generation to carry the banner of Islam to the ends of the earth.

"People loved Islam so much that they were willing to die for it," said Grand Ayatollah Yusef Saanei.

"Nobody could have damaged Islam as much as the men who once ruled our nation, and those in charge toda," declared Human rights activist Roya Toloui.

They have left a nation struggling to find its soul.

One Iranian convert to Christianity said, "We are still asking our parents why they stood for such a revolution, for such a religion."

With too few answers, many Iranians are now seeking alternatives to Islam.

"There is a vacuum, a spiritual vacuum in Iran. In their mind, most of them are done with Islam," said an Iranian pastor.
