Happy New Year to Iran
The Iranian New Year began yesterday. It is now 1382 according to their calendar. In celebration, the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran released a statement in support of making 1382 the year ending clerical rule and bringing democracy to Iran. Many (not all, but many) Iranians believe the war on Saddam will help these aims.
* Correction * -- Due to my carelessness, I said the Iranian new year was yestrday, when I should have said it was Friday the 21st. Sorry about that.
Dear Dean,
Thanks
The first day of Iranian calendar is 21 March.
Almost all Iranian ordinary people believe that 1382 will be a great year. We will celebrate our real victory. Iran will be a model of democracy and freedom, also secular state in the region. It will be a peaceful victory, though it has been expensive.
