This link is interesting for non-Iranians and summarizes in a very brief form the history of the Islamic Republic.

I couldn’t go through all the parts but i read what you chose to share in here about following the clergies. It needs a little clarification/correction. The case is, as a Shia muslim, you have to be either an expert or choose an expert in your day to day religious tasks and in doing so you have to do an extensive and comprehensive research in order to find someone worth following and you have to come up with the best. And you will be held accountable if you choose the clergy or follow his orders “blindly” as it is being mentioned in the excerpt you chose to share. The clergies, who are eligible to be followed, are constantly being challenged by new ideas and cases and they have to come up with the proper answers for their followers. They have an updated version of their original book (Resale) every other then called ( Isteftaat) which are compilation of the answers to the new questions.

"Question: When is it okay to shoot down an airliner and then lie about it?"
Looking forward to the next year's edition! I wonder if the general who publicly said he told the authorities immediately that it was shot down will be executed. |

I wonder how you treated your general who shut down an Iranian flight?? Ok, never mind, you honored him with a medal.

Reading up on your unique form of religiously controlled government is interesting but something that would be hard for a secular society to accept. We know leaders are imperfect, often corrupt and often not to be trusted. Your system seems to place a very high degree of trust in fallible human beings. I don't believe humans have earned that trust.
