The Ayatollah, as reprehensible as he is to us Westerners, is a thoroughly Iranian leader and not a US puppet.
Anyhow, it's a very good film.
Now, see, "A Taste of Cherry."
It's about a guy about your age, post-Iran/Iraq war.
It is nothing less than brilliant.
Kiarastomi is one of the greatest living directors, ranking up with modern film's greatest, period.

  do you think is more popular among them, the Shah or Khomeini?
  Which killed more is arguable. Since we so strongly opposed K, we left him---- as we didn't Ho Chi Minh and many others--- little option than of becoming our enemy. Did our decades of meddling have no impact on post-Shah Iran? How about the rise of SH? US support of him was non-consequential?

    I meant a country with two parts. The oppressed and the oppressors.
    Now you dare to compare the result counted in dead bodies?
    K. made millions of victims.
    Now the Shah?
    People hide there real " I "! And when they got the power...
