The western world is still trying to understand how such a relatively modern country as Iran can be run by a theocracy yet try to pretend to be a democracy. Their president is a puppet under the control of the Ayatollahs but what they don’t seem to understand is that this is very obvious to the world. The good news is that they have a reasonably good education system with a large number of students. By its very nature, a good education encourages independent thinking so naturally the students rebel against their farcical Government.
The Ayatollahs have had 2 hanged recently and plan to hang some more before Feb 11. See Amnesty International's site.
A rock group called Blurred Vision have produced a video with some background shots of the student rebellion and a great re-make of Pink Floyd's 1979 iconic protest anthem "Another Brick In The Wall" exactly thirty years to the month that it was originally released. The video was directed by Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Babak Payami.
