Anatomy of a Revolution - 01 Feb 09 - Part 2

After decades of royal rule millions of Iranians took to the streets in a popular movement against a regime that was seen as brutal, corrupt and illegitimate. Revolutionary forces, under the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Khomeini, forced the Shah of Iran into exile. His government was overthrown and replaced by a new Islamic order. The Islamic revolution put Iran on a new path - one that brought it to war with its neighbour and ongoing conflict with the West. Anatomy of a Revolution tells this story.

"Millions of Iranians took to the streets in a popular movement against a regime that was seen as brutal, corrupt and illegitimate."

Iran, as with many other countries who made the change to religious fundamentalism, I pity you. Thank God you are now coming to your senses and realizing the truth of the world. Now if and the other hyper-religious groups of people in the world would realize how foolish religion is, the whole world would benefit.

با درود

اگه شاه گزاشته بود ملتش چندتا كتاب بخوانند هرگز ايرن به اين روز دچار نميشد.

و يك شاه هيچوقت سرزمينى كه به او ايمان و عهد داره رها نميكنه،

جاويد و پاينده ايرن
