There must have been 150 people on Ayatollah Khomeini's flight to Tehran in 1979, most of them young and eager revolutionaries. Some, including the man who made the announcement about the plane being shot down, were later executed. Others, like the future President Bani-Sadr, were driven into exile. Many were killed in the war with Iraq, or assassinated by extremists. Less than half of us are probably still alive today.
All revolutions devour their children but the Iranian revolution had a fiercer appetite than most.
