I am seeing history being made and the whole world is watching (and all the world will know). Perhaps history does repeat itself. The condition of pre-WWII where many nations were in an economic woe and at least three problematic dictators is almost the same structure as the present time. Will the world unite and throw out the totalitarian regimes or sit back and wait as before. I seriously doubt that this situation in Iran will be a successful revolution. The uprising in Iran is more like the Hungarian revolt of 1956 with the exception that no outside power will invade and throw out the government of the revolutionaries. It is also somewhat similar to the Prague Spring revolt of 1968 which a reformer was elected and once again the totalitarian forces invaded and removed the reformers from power. It is an interesting read.

Now we add the son of the deposed Shah of Iran in the public lime light.

This is better than any movie and it is real.
