Maybe you can remeber that Ganji once confessed that he and other anti-shah people had lied many times about many so-called evil done by Shah in order to incite people. They got what they wanted. now they complain. When the "intellecutals" in a society are these liers who think its ok to do wrong and deceive people in order to achieve their so-called positive but in fact stupid goals, what better can be expected?
