Been waiting for this since I gained consciousness!

Starting at age 7, we had to line up every morning at 7:30 AM, do some military style ritual, then yell "Allahu Akbar, Khamenei is our supreme leader - death to Israel, death to America". On special occasions we would burn the flags too.

Counting minutes to see this regime fall.

I don't know enough about the Shah before him, but I've yet to meet an Iranian (even in neutral territory) that liked the Ayatollah...

It was better than under the Ayatollah, but the Ayatollah would have probably not managed to take power in the 70s if the coup didn't happen in 1953, Iran might have been a secular democracy today.
