This great visionary of yours was so ignorant that mullahs took over our historic country.

You may owe your education to him. BUT I owe my education to Iran's wealth, to Iranian inteligent which I have and also to my family.

It is the DUTY of every responsible government and leader to use the national assets for the benefit of its subjects. It is NOT a favour or CHARITY like you think. That is why you feel you owe him. In fact he should have done a lot more than that.

Thank you for this historical video.  Wonderful piece of history.
The late king of Iran was indeed a great man, and a great visionary who helped his nation prosper and advance.  All those Iranians who can read this owe their education to him and his father.

charismatic young Shah

Just 2 points if you do not mind;

1- According to oxford dictionary charismatic means

exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others 

He was neither charming or devotional !!!!

2- If you think he was charismatic, you should really see me. To start with I do not have big nose like him. I past my 50 and have dark hair. I more look like a 'Roman Emperor'. haha
