Funny,didn't Khomeini say water,electricity and bus rides will be for free?
Shouldn't Khomeini's cohorts that are in power in Iran be prosecuted and hanged for fraud and lying to the Iranian people?

So two wrongs make a right? Jomhuri Islami yek regime khoonkhare va jenayat kareh.
You name me one country besides Iran that hangs people on a daily bases by the dozen with mobile cranes?
You name me one country that uses meat cutting machine to chop hands with?
You name me one country that uses snipers to shoot peaceful demonstrators with?
You are a typical shameless regime apologist otherwise known as a Mozdor.
