About Iran, from an Iranian Woman
@lilsmichelle

No matter what happens to me in this life, no matter where I live or what language I speak, I will always be an Iranian woman. In every lifetime, I would choose to be Iranian.

Today marks a historic day for Iranians around the world. After nearly fifty years under a regime built on repression, the man who stood at the center of that system is gone. For many of us, the feeling was not shallow celebration. It was release. It was the unfamiliar sensation of air returning to lungs that have been compressed for decades.

And yet the moment Iranians allowed themselves to exhale was the moment the world decided to correct us.

The same world that was silent during mass executions. Silent when political prisoners were killed by the thousands. Silent as women were beaten in the streets. Silent as families buried their children. That silence has now transformed into moral instruction.

1. I sure hope it turns out the way this woman hope for it to turn out,

but given the history of the ME, I'm not optimistic.

2. She is braver

than 99% of the vocal online commentariat who lack the critical thinking skills to disentangle history and politics.

3. Understood. The reality is the motivations of those who executed this war I doubt was to liberate those who are victims

of that regimes brutality.

Of course that will depend on if the overthrow of the current Iranian regime is successful, what will be done to fill the void left behind.

4. Maybe the CIA will install that Shah Jr guy. He will

Return everything the way it was. Torture, secret police, stealing all the money all the good stuff.
Meet the new boss.
