The old instruments cannot make new sounds. If it wasn't because of the Shah's reliance (and CIAs) on the Religious figures to neutralize oppositions from the nationalist, left and the liberal (in that order). We would not have the problems that we would have right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538109.post-29239392483633413952007-05-04T18:38:00.000-04:002007-05-04T18:38:00.000-04:00Hidden author, SerendipThen I have to disappoint y...Hidden author, Serendip<BR/><BR/>Then I have to disappoint you becuz you seem not know much about the Iranian society and changes that have happened since 1979...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538109.post-20997341376186087032007-05-04T13:36:00.000-04:002007-05-04T13:36:00.000-04:00I'm afraid I have to agree with the Hidden Author....I'm afraid I have to agree with the Hidden Author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538109.post-48982089130616813762007-05-03T04:05:00.000-04:002007-05-03T04:05:00.000-04:00This challenge to the mullahs is temporary. In the...This challenge to the mullahs is temporary. In the Muslim world, you get these fads where a dissident sect challenges the mainstream. In this case, the secularists are the dissident sect. But in the end, the Iranians will--because they are mostly Muslims--return to the basics of the faith. Just look at Turkey, Algeria, or even the West, places where Muslims are growing less and less respectful of the secular order. It will take another few decades to overthrow the mullahs, at best, and even then, a significant part of the population will allow the mullahs to regain much (but not all) of their influence within four or five years. When in doubt, Iran will turn to the legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini and all the other lunatic ayatollahs and mullahs because that's what Muslims do.Hidden Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039410618383593927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538109.post-43664269470691530342007-05-03T03:41:00.000-04:002007-05-03T03:41:00.000-04:00Exactly, thank you.Exactly, thank you.Bardiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667600422340230733noreply@blogger.com
