Take a look at this unbelievable piece. It is a long list of photos showing what Iran was like before the revolution and what it is like now, after the revolution. It is chilling. I think it is effective mostly because there is an irony in the images chosen, a high level of self-awareness and anger.
It gives me hope. The voices of Iranian people can be heard, regardless of whether or not their own leaders want to listen to them. This is hopeful. You don’t hear too much from people in Iraq, saying, “Saddam killed my whole family … we are starving … we are desperate … We hate Saddam and his brainwashed men.” The only ones saying stuff like that are the Iraqis who have escaped. So it is good news, that you can actually hear what people in Iran are saying. It is hugely hopeful.
