1. Anniversary
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (02.01.10)
Oh yah! This should be a day of mourning not celebration. But it's always been like this us Iranians. We always take side with the wrong side. And only innocent people end up paying the price for it.
2. Had it not been for our Great Leader...
Arash ,   Tehran-Iran   (02.01.10)
The country would have collapsed for good under the reign of the Shah. Luckily the 1979 revolution brought things back in order.

your country is collapsing now, as we speak. law and order in iran is by fear only, by brutality, rape, murder, hangings and violent police crackdown, not by peace. this is not a real law and order. it is law and order by violence and police brutality. almost 35% unemployment of 70% of the country which is under 30 years old. no one has a job. heroin addiction of a million and more people on the streets. illiteracy in small villages and towns and poverty where people can't afford bread or rice or meat. poverty level is high and the government is having food subsidies for bread, sugar, butter, and other foods necessary for life. the economy is in chaos and more people are poorer than before 2008. infighting on the streets and the above will bring in another revolution where many will die, but freedom will be gotten and this murderous regime will disappear. i promise you this. no regime that kills its people and starves them will survive. not by fear and not by murder. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Wow A-rashf! It's ok for you so it must be OK for the rest of us. Are you serious? How old are you? Do you even know what was going on during Shah? Why am i even wasting my breath for this? Thanks for proving my point....

especially when the toilet paper won't come off the roll because the end is stuck to the roll.
6. #5 I have the same feeling,only I think of Benji Nuttyahoo..
Arash ,   Tehran-Iran   (02.02.10)

from the highest tree on top of the tallest mountain above Tehran you will not live to see next year's spitting on the grave of your Devil Mark my words
8. The modern 'quack' of the 20th century.
Jojo ,   PRTWASHNY   (02.02.10)
Khomeini. Remember him ? Iran's curse today, yesterday's, probably forever. Thanks in part to the French , America, and other stupid 'know-it-all', leaders.
9. From Baghdad

I do hope that your shiite nations collapses, and even though you have your shiite brothers in Iraq ruling us, this is what I call the gog & magog invasion, you are nothing but a bunch of barbarians, and there will never be peace between Iraq and Persia and please stop being copy cats and change your name back to persia and keep celebrating your satanic faith and mutilate yourselves. The Shah was civilized but then again what you apes know, so get the hell out of our country and or lead your 60% of Iraq's population , the shiites and let them start their own state in Shiite stan in Kerbala (disaster & destruction) and Najaf build a wall and enjoy your faith with your shrines etc, I commend Saddam for that war with you people and the war with Kuwait and thats the only good thing he did. stop destroying our country where you blow up monuments just because they resemble how much we detest your persian nation. there will never be peace we will always abhor you. and take away your persian peasants from our government institutions and go back to your Persian land and leave the rest of us alone.
10. #6 I often think of him when I see a funeral procession----
USA   (02.02.10)
I watched on TV when Khomeini was in his open wooden box being carried through the streets and somehow he ended up being dropped on the street. Certainly a righteous thing that happened for such a dog of a man don't you think? Yes each year at this time ALWAYS puts a smile on my face as I have that scene etched in my memory forever. I also have the same wonderful scene of Saddam Hussien's hanging. Ah yes, nothing better than seeing justice carried out in the ME don't you think????
11. I wonder in Al-Jimmal Carter was invited? After all, he is
