SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
The things that Mr Khomeini told our Nation in 1979:
He (Shah) fled and plundered everything.
He destroyed our country and filled our cemeteries.
He ruined our country's economy.
Even the projects he carried out in the name of progress, pushed the country towards decadence.
He suppressed our culture, annihilated people and destroyed all our manpower resources.
Was He lying or was he telling the truth?
