In 1979, I watched on tv in Denver as the American School of Teheran 
was overrun by protesters after the Shah fell. All I could think of 
was what a change from the way things were when I attended as a kid in 
'66. I see a lot of the same looks on the protester's faces as I saw 
back in '79.

I also see a lot in these kids today that was there back when Iran was 
developing before the revolution. The Iranian people will set things 
straight, you watch. They always do "what needs doing". An awesome 
people ^__^. My money is on b), probably peacefully behind the scenes 
via the religious councils.
