Afsoos!

by omeedvar on

I remember everything. Sometimes I think what would have been the situation of Iran Today, if the revolution did not happen. Afsoos, we Iranian made a big mistake to believe and accept the lies of the  revolutionaries, and their leader.

During these three decades I have watched the highs and lows in the British Royal family. The british people ignored the worst of it, and embraced and celebrated the best of it. I wish we had done the same.

Thanks DK for sharing.
