Treasonous monarchy or vampiric mollas?

I'm absolutely appalled by what has been transpiring between Reza Shah's rhetoric mongers "parroting" irrelevant, deceptive and fallacious arguments ["Molla apologist", "Reza Shah's achievements"] and "gutsy" Ms Sabety ["...No Mossadegh" "Not shying away"].

For heaven's sake, who cares whether Ms Sabety's father was a senator or not. Please, people exercise some objectivity and break the cycle of almost congenital ingratiation.

At any rate, whether her father was a senator or not, you cannot change the historical fact that Iran under Mohammad Reza Shah was a colony of United States run by 37,000 Americans. If anything, for the sake of history, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi should be charged with treason and put on trial postmortem.

By the same token, and after seeing Maryam's heart wrenching picture (one of many victims of drug addiction epidemic in Iran), I am equally appalled by the diabolical mollas who have wrapped themselves around religion to prolong their vampiric reign.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to deduce that there is nothing Islamic or religious about these psychotic mollas. The Islamic Republic doesn't represent Islam, or a republic for that matter. Since when Islam has become synonymous with poverty, rampant prostitution (even in mollas' circle), drug addiction, and heinous crimes against patriotic and religious dissidents?

How long are the mollas going to insult the intelligence of the beleaguered populace? Obviously, these are rhetorical questions. However, I guess, ultimately, it's all a matter of perspective and preference: Treasonous monarchy or vampiric mollas in human disguise? Take your pick! You want fries with that? hehe

But on a more serious note, I would much rather read about sound social and political analysis of the events occurring on every level of government and society in Iran than agenda-ridden, slandering voices from the distant past.
