Legacy of a Revolution - 9 Feb 09 - Part 4

Thirty years after the founding of the Islamic republic, the ideals that inspired the uprising continue to inform every day life in modern Iran.

So how has the revolution managed to sustain itself through war, international isolation, economic sanctions, and regional turbulence?

And how has Iranian society changed since the seismic upheaval of 1979?

LONG LIVE IRAN!

[ARDESHIRAN]

Long live the 8,000-year-old native Aryan tribes of West & Central Asia (Turks, Persians, Turkemans, Kurds, Khorasanis, Parthians, Uzbeks, Baluchs, Tajiks, Lors, Azeris, Hazaras, Bakhtiaris, Gujratis, etc.). The 500-year-old artificially-forced evil division of motherland: "IRAN" ("Land of Aryans") into "nations" is about to self-implode. Down with evil "Divide&Rule" policy of anti-human Zionists & NEOCOS, components of US Weapons industry.

chill Guys, the U.S. is not that bad, and I am not an anti Iranian person, I will take all sides into consideration, and you really should not judge the U.S. as evil, just because we have a few crazy idiots running around burning ko'rans.

What pro regime ppaganda. i was in iran 2 monhs ago and i can tell you this is a very unpopular regime

[translationwiz]

I never knew there was a woman/female VP in Iran. It's interesting how medias around the world...........shows what it wants. And leaves the rest for the viewer to go and find out. They use the old, "We dont lie. But We aint tellin the truth either!."

Thanks Jazeera once again. You never fail to impress me.

peace/salam

Forced sex change or the noose. That is monstruous. Religion poisons everything.

[shir1999]

Your comments are angry & emotional and have no analytical basis. Your just barking & reactionary. Like a three year old child. Try to control your emotions & argue intelligently.

[NorwegianCrows]

Calm down.

This video clearly gives a very positive stance towards the islamic revolution, as if everything is fine in nowadays iran, when it's actually the contrary. Many women in Tehran are doing everything they can to cover their heads less and as a result getting fined, they are treated as second class citizens by law. Gay people are often forced to change their sex, and they call it a cure. When is this madness going to end? I feel sorry for the intelligent Iranians, and the other brainwashed people.
