Afsoos!
by omeedvar on Sat Sep 01, 2012 03:39 PM PDTI 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.
