Still The Same After All These Years

clipped from www.rogerlsimon.com Far more interesting than the essentially trivial Wright, the IRGC (known as the Pasdaran) has itself commented on the possibility as follows (as quoted by the BBC): In a statement published by Iran's Mehr news agency, the IRGC condemned the plan as "worthless resolutions" issued "dauntlessly and under baseless pretexts... to damage this holy institution". "Those who are enchanted by the material world fail to realise the depth of the spiritual power and iron determination of the devoted members of the IRGC, which have roots in the religious beliefs of the people, and will witness the definite victory of the children of Islam against global infidelity," the statement said. What's interesting here, of course, is that the Revolutionary Guard responds in religious terms. It almost sounds insane to us (people like Wright probably don't even believe it's real) but this is the voice of Khomeini's 1979 revolution still speaking loud and clear.
