A trip back: the Iranian revolution (Part I) — 1 Comment

  1. In the summer of ’78 while hitchinking around town I got a ride with an Iraninan student who was going to some anti-Shah demonstration.

    Fast-forward a year later. While working in Argentina, the central office sent an Iranian tcchnician down to install a computer part. He also taught math part-time nights at a university in the States. An Argentine woman asked him about having a theocracy in Iran. His reply was that if that was what the people chose, that was what they chose. Less than a week after he left to return to the US, the US embassy in Tehran got taken over. I never had a chance to ask his opinion of the subsequent events.

    I doubt that he returned to Iran.
