When I see Irans Unfortunate, I miss Shah and Days Of Freedom

by AlexInFlorida on

Shah made such a great effort in bringing freedom and justice for all and just think how these peoples lives would have been different if Shahs team had stayed in power and achieved their goals.  In 1985 all Iranians would have had health care, paid for by government if they could not afford it.

Those who betrayed Shah, betrayed the weak and the poor as well, since he he put almost all his efforts into bringing freedom and justice for all.

The Days of Wealth, growth, modernity, development, free education and well being have been gone for a long time now. 

Surely Shah must be badly missed?  Not every Iranian can be Ignorant can they?

To think that the west, deceitfully/purposely labelled Shah a dictator
in order to first trick iranians into betraying the Shah and then
getting them to support their #1 man Khomeini who with Saddam would help
weaken and control Iran should surprise no one.

Iran has oil, all developed countries wanted to control it and Shah
wanted to use the oil to help Iranians realize Freedom no matter their
class or station in life.

Shame on Iranians for not having the last word on their own future and
betraying their 2500 year old national institution of tolerance, freedom
and majestic monarchy.

How is Shia Islam working for you now?

Heartwarming music and beautiful people. I wonder if human being did not have speak, how would the history be written?

Most of the atrocities deeply rooted in our spech communication. We fist hurt people withour words and then the actions follow!!!!!

I hope no one takes my words as an offecnce to The linguistically challenged people.

Hi! Angel,

  LOL! yes, I am dreaming of visiting Iran....but I have to have some disposable income 1st.......I need 2nd job during summer......if I go, I will take a picture with the beautiful hookah pipe - the Persian paraphernalia.......I don't know how to smoke.......I have never smoked in my life....I have better not started 'cause I don't want any allergic reaction......LOL!

    If you have a collection of Persian costumes, you should do a photo essay...you can be your own fashion model and find someone to take the pictures for you.........just a suggestion!

Please take care!

The ones in the video aren't traditional in that sense. ... I wish , that before they detroy all, I could go and collect all sounds and costumes........ There is one fashion designor (Shirin  Bakhtiari-Zafar- Guild), otherwise, I've been actively trying to salvage pieces at auctions (embroidery! The cuts!) for ages ....

Hey Yolanda, one day soon, we'll go off , and you'll be sitting there with your hooka pipe, and I'll be with my soundrecorder and all sorts causing mayhem !

Hi! Angel,

   Thank you for the info......the costumes in the video look great, beautiful and feminine-looking.......I guess they are ethnic costumes.......I can see them only in special occasions........Wow! You still have the vintage garments.......I have to say that the old stuff is way better than chadors.

take care!

I don't know about now, but about 40years odd years ago, the most gorgeous garments were village norm. I used to love and adore them and wear them... I still have a few pieces. O†herwise, you can pick up exquisite pieces at Christie's South Kensington auction  for less than a fraction of the current trends.
