I went to high school for a couple of years at University High in west LA during the late `70s. This was at the height of the Iranian/Persian migration and knew quite a few Iranian students. We would sit around and smoke and talk about their plight. It was amazing. They didn't like the Shah but were terrified of what was to come. They were good people. So, like the Armenians, I've always watched with some interest on their travails.
So, I've been glued to the Huff Post's
live blog by Nico Pitny. It's riveting...
Saturday will be the turning point after Khomeini's Friday prayer speech. Will they or won't they turn out... I hope they do.
