The unemployed guy who can't envision a future for himself has got to have somebody to hate ... and that makes him prime fodder for the Mullah's ranting about the great Satan.

I think that would be the case in many other islamic countries, however Iran has had one of the better education systems in the islamic world, since before the "revolution" in 1979, and a large % of both male and females get a higher education, and there is little focus on religion in the education system. Schools in Tehran and other cities are also linked to the Internet, and recently there were also a somewhat critical press.
I think most older Iranians can remember life before the "revolution", and the young are aware that there is world around them.
