35 Years After Iranian Revolution

We have one of the most educated and young population in the world, yet we suffer horrendous unemployment and under employment, in the 35 years following the revolution. We are blessed with great oil deposits, yet, most of our people are living in poverty, 35 years following the revolution. We are blessed with great oil deposits, yet we have currency that has regularly lost its value against the United States dollar, in the 35 years following the revolution. We have a history of being victimized by the Arabs, yet, 35 years following the revolution, we have taught our children to hate Israel. The vast majority of our people are living miserable lives, insecure of tomorrow’s bread, yet, 35 years following the revolution, we spend billions on nuclear weapons we do not need. Iranian passport were respected, and Iranian welcomed over the world, yet, 35 years following the revolution, we are treated a pariah. We used to be a god-living people, yet, 35 years following the revolution, we are a clergy fearing people. We used to send student abroad, yet, 35 years following the revolution, we are sending our young men to die in the battle fields of the Arabs, far from home. What do we have, after 35 years age?
