Your theory falls into pieces when it comes to Spain under Franco. Let's not mention Chile under Pinochet to save you further embarrassment - LOL

Silver Platter?

by JustAnIranian on

If Iran still has any hope, it is because of the schools he built and all that he did. 

He did not serve Iran on a silver platter to the mullahs. The Iranian nation did. 

As Abbas Milani (also a leftie in the seventies) said: "Time will be on the side of Mohammad Reza Shah".  

May he rest in peace

Bande de barbares !

by Shemirani on

They could attempt school and university without sending a penny, they could go aboard with the state's help (boursier and all the help in iran embassy resolving their everydays problems), artesh farhangi was doing a great job against analphabets in countryside, every children received "une collation" at school in case they couldn't afford it .........(i don't speak of cultural things like katabkhane,kanoon ketab, ballet, theater, contemporain art...)

and what they did for Iran ? they bring violence they closed university , they changed our school books to put bullshits in it ,death, veil, segregation of sex, war, shalagh, sangsar, banned music....!

this selfish retarded generation took away everything from the next (and next and next )generation !!! we lost all our basics liberties and comfort ....i still remember their "happy chants" while ruining our land !

 even if the west didn't want Iran to progess too much, this utopiste "ablah" helped them big time !!

 today most of them don't admit their fault ! (this is the worse part) they pretend they were liberators, big joke !!!

Mash Ghasem

Wrong Title: " How shah gave Iran to mullahs on a silver platter

by Mash Ghasem on

and never looked backed to see what he had done."

The current "Shah" seems to be at the end of his line as well.

It looks as if politics in Iran runs on cycles of three decades, after three decades they're gone; what gives?

Shah 1953-1979

IRI     1979-2012?!?

 


JustAnIranian

Shame

by JustAnIranian on

What did he do that was so terrible? He built schools and universities and did more for womens rights than anybody in Iranian history. 

Ok, he was a dictator, he made mistakes. But SHAME on a nation that didn't even give him a chance for reform.

Even after he left, there was Bakhtiar. Instead of him they VOTED for Velayat e Faghih without having any idea about what the heck it is.

I grew up with phrases like "Armika kard", "Englees kard". Well you know what? I have a vague memory of those Allah o Akbars. They were all very Farsi. 

The People of Iran made a terrible mistake and we should and WILL never forget that. At least have the integrity to say that and stop blaming others.

God rest his soul. As Shustari says all those who chanted "Marg Bar Shah" were the first to suffer the reprecussions of their catastrophic mistake. 


پندارنیک

Of the fall of the fallen.......

by پندارنیک on

His Majesty simply abdicated the peacock (or whatever bird) throne. He single-handedly had a 25-century national tradition of monarchy brought down, way before the day of his cutting and run..........His departure was a purely symbolic decision based on the advice (order) he received from the foreign embassies.
