Phewwwwww! Blessed Relief, I finished the read, and throughout, I was reminded that these same attitudes, ideas, and thoughts, expressed in the "Letter" NO book might be a better word, are the same as witnessed by millions, no, the World, as the Iranian students and people welcomed the mullahs and tossed the Shah.

And I said then and still say now, no matter how bad the Shah was, it will be easier to get to, (why would any one want a democracy), a democracy from the Shah then it will from a repressive religious regime. Nothing has changed, the recognition of what is needed is, in MHO a little short of reality, as the ranting in the "book" is heaped with emotion.

It is emotion we can all understand, but it will be interesting to see what chance, an unarmed student up-rising has against what it at one time welcomed into the country with wild jubilation. Suddenly everyone is against the freedom loving Iranian people. Admittedly, no students of today were involved or even born at the time of the Shah's departure.

How can you make any connection between the current students and those of 30+ years ago?
