While I agree the movie is a piece of p*ropaganda as is Iranian PressTV both the depiction of Hollywood as a tool of Zionism and the article are wrong. * * * * The real history of the Iranian revolution and victory of the counter-revolution by the **Khomeini Islamic regime which** was brought to power by the US, General Huysar and those from the **Guadalupe Conference* on *Iran is hidden and covered up by many of the anti-anti imperialists and the regime itself. In fact Reagan helped the regime c**onsolidate** itself but I guess many forget Irancontra also. Millions of Iranians know this history.* * * *I do not agree the film is against Islam but I have not seen it nor will I. * * * *Cort*
