Sorry, that's total B.S. and that's the media's fault for only ever showing you the demonstrations and flag burning from the hardliners who show up in voice because they had nothing to fear in reprisals from their regime.
Now you see throngs of people who are fighting for their liberal freedoms only to be beaten and killed by those hardliners.
So many Iranians have deep knowledge of the U.S. and the west, and even watch American TV programs and enjoy their culture, fashion, and even government. Heck, last night on the Daily Show, their reporter was in Iran talking to people and they were like: "oh! the Daily Show? Say hello to Jon!"
Perhaps the older generation has deep memories of America and the Shah, but increasingly, the younger generation (and the growing majority of the demographic population) are more liberal and educated and knowledgable of the west and don't even remember those times as they were not yet born.
