Keep your 'Sincerity' for your FB Friends 'Poet'...
by Darius Kadivar on Sun Jul 24, 2011 09:24 PM PDTand before making irrelevant comments maybe you should stop smoking Walt Whitman 'Leaves Of Grass'
This Post had absolutely no comment in favor or against the Pahlavis ( whom I respect nevertheless) but simply connecting two totally different countries through a common souvenier including a reference to your Idol Shirin Ebadi.
Now Go and Focus on Your "Sincere' Poetry in your Sunny Florida !
Hope it sells well !
I Sincerely Hope .....
by R2-D2 on Mon Jul 25, 2011 04:47 AM PDTthat one of these days, you develop sufficient self-respect and dignity to stop writing all of these crap about how great the Pahlavis were :)
As you know, everytime that the Shah went under pressure, he Fled our Beloved Iran -
The first time, the British and the Americans bailed him out (1953) - And, the second time, in 1979, there was no one to do that :)
As you know, on the second occasion, 1979, after he Fled Iran, many of his Generals were one by one arrested, and subsequently executed :)
P.S. In your blogs please remind your readers on the Shah's bravery - Like I said, a Total Coward through and through :) !
Look in the mirror maybe you may recognize yourself 'Poet' !
by Darius Kadivar on Sun Jul 24, 2011 09:04 PM PDTCOMPLAINING JOMHURYKHAH: What Have the Pahlavis EVER Done For Us ? ;0)
Don't You Get Tired ....
by R2-D2 on Sun Jul 24, 2011 09:23 PM PDTof sucking up to the Pahlavis :)
P.S. I hope you are well compensated for your efforts :)
