Counting down to Feb 11th in Iran

What is special about February 11th?  The fall of the Shah's regime in that fateful year of 1979.  In other words, the anniversary of the revolution as a result of which we have the theocratic set up now.
As FP puts it:

Predicting political change, let alone revolutions, is tricky business. The United States got it spectacularly wrong in 1979. If you're looking for guideposts, the next big date to watch should be Feb. 11, the revolution's anniversary. Both sides are busy preparing. The opposition promises a strong show of support in the streets, while Ahmadinejad has vowed to strike a harsh blow against "global arrogance" (his term for the United States).

The government has launched a ten day celebration, and

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Feb. 11 would mark the demise of “the liberal capitalist system,” adding that its champion, America, was on the decline and that Iran and its Islamic Revolution were on the rise.

The guy clearly beats the clownish Baghdad Bob in terms of reporting about an alternate universe!
