It'd be arrogent if he was American, but I believe he's from Turkey. In that case it's more paranoid. The whole idea that the US is some omnipresent villian responsible for all the world's problems is foolish at best. If the US did have the amount of control in Iran needed for such a thing to happen, the whole nuclear issue wouldn't even exist. The US would obviously have enough control to stop Iran's nuclear program if they have the amount of control to get tens maybe hundreds of thousands of people to protest like that. No, this is the Iranian people fed up with they system and wanting reform. Even if the elections were fair, the government still needs to satasify the reform movement.
