Folklight Is history repeating itself in Iran? With a population of 70 million, Iran is not the nation it was before or during the revolution of 1979. Life under the Sha grew repressive (following an assassination attempt) and his reign was viewed as that of a puppet government, this forged the alliance which rules today's Islamic Republic of Iran. The facts driving a push for reform in today's voting are found in demographics as well as Persian history. There are similarities in the current 'reformist' movement and the upheaval of 30 yrs ago despite that fact that more than two-thirds of Iran's present population are under 30 years old. As the Mantra of Hope and Change spreads in Persia the outcome of this election hangs in the balance. People across the globe watch and pray for peace and prosperity. God willing it will.

David It looks like protests are breaking out all over Iran, one estimate put turnout in a Tehran rally at one million. They are already calling it the Green Revolution. I really hope that this will be the fall of the Berlin Wall and not Tienaman Square.
