Focus Visually On Iran

good

intentions pave the road to hell.

Ali P., good summary of bazargan's composition. RG's conclusion of that mix is apropo.

Weak and confused, seem to sum him up. That he was a source of trust for many says much about Iranians, JM, and melli/mazhabis. That he was so thoroughly used and manipulated proves his weakness & confusion. Only the same awaits any remaining melli/mazhabi

Oktaby

..........

Being out of Iran for 33 yrs;never seen him or his likes.

But unfortunatley him and his like killed 2 generation of Iranians out of NOTHING.

 Maziar

Make fun of Bazargan all you want, at the end of the day

Nehzat azadi, Meli-Mazhabi current still has the support of a large layer of professional, bureaucrat middle class in Iran. This is a social milieu, social force to contend with, and hopefully win over.

Bazargan by all accounts was the most conservative of all politicians. He famously said:"We were praying for rain and we got a flood" The satarical weekly Ahangar has some nice skeches of him.

"You mix all this"

And you get a very confused man, a common trait amongst all "islamist intellectuals"

BTW. I love that Einstain/Imam jafar Saadegh combo :) 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

As far as he was concerned...

and sincerely believed, he was:
a patriot,
a religious man,
an honest politician;

a believer:
in democracy,
in shiite Islam,
in modern science and technology,
non-moslems being najes,
human rights,
and sharia law;

admirer of:
Newton,
Einstein,
Imam Jafar Sadegh,
Mossadegh,
Yasser Arafat

You mix all this, and in the best possible version, you get a man like Mehdi Bazargan.

Hate to say it

He was a super weak politician and to some degree clueless. In a sane society he will be working as a file clerk in some office. His beteryal of Dr. Bakhtiar and  the constitution is some thing that no one can ever forget.  You can call him Iranian benedict Arnold a traitor.

این بازرگان

این بازرگان خیانتکار و دشمن ایران و ملت ایران و ابراهیم یزدی که با امریکایها در یک هدف ویرانی ایران و ان سنجابی که می خواست نخست وزیر بشود و یکی از دشمنان ایران بود. اینها فقط  و فقط دشمن ایران بودند

همین بازرگان را مصدق فرستاده بود ابادان که گزارش بدهد از پالیشگاه ابادان و فکر بکنید گزارش جی بود. گزارش بازرگان به مصدق این بود توالتها شرعی نیستند و طرف غرب نگاه می کنند. مصدق گفته بود که ما مگر خواستیم بری توالتها را گزارش بدی و یا گزارش پالایشگاه.

Mohallel....

Bazargan was an educated good person, but he was not a strong wise leader. His role in 1979 Iranian revolution, was a mohallel. He took Iranian nation who trusted him, from shah and gave her to Khomeini.

He did not cooperate with his mellioun friend, Bakhtiar, and did not arrange a few weeks nationwide debate among Iranian people to decide their next regime. He accepted an Islamic republic with no other choice, in a quick referendom.

Although he was against US Embassy hostage taking and other dramatic actions, but he did nothing, and when khomeini removed him from his position, he said: this is like my second marriage! Except Abbas Amir Entezam who went to prison for many years, the rest of his colleagues stayed passive, a few cooperated with the regime, and some started their own money making business.

به درک که مرد

یکی‌ از بانی‌ و بأعثان ویرانی ایران. 

I agree with Harpi-Eagle

Bazargan & other Meli-Mazhabiha who supported  the Monster khomeini destroyed IRAN & IRANIANS based on their blind faith in Dear ISLAM. 

He was ...

in Dr. Mosadegh's administration. Mosadegh used to say "Mehdi Bazargan is the only Turbanless Mullah in Iran, Akhoondeh be Ammameh".

He became a pawn in the hands of Khomeini in 1357 like many of the other "Gullible Roshanfekr who trusted that "Saloos" SOB.

Payandeh Iran, our Ahuraie Fatherland

The only thing that can be said about him

A weak politician and a gullible human. He reminds me of the movies by three stooges.
