OK As Far As It Goes, But...
Reader comment on item: Iran's Christian Boom
Submitted by Gary Sack (United States), Jun 24, 2021 at 18:08
Very nice, very good, but so what? I remember Sean Connery's line in the movie "Hunt For Red October..."revolution from time to time is a good thing". Very true. As with all authoritarian regimes, it's up to the people to rise up, yet no one does. Not in Cuba, not in China, etc., certainly not in Iran. Wake me up when a new American style revolution occurs.
