I think Iranians are smart enough to realize what happened in the past is the past and what the current situation in the world actually is.

I think a liberal Iranian recognizes that Barack Obama is not the same American president that supported the Shah of Iran. The same way he hopes that you do not see all Iranians as supporting the views of the Ayatollah.
