Iran was an international destination for respectable people of the world. The Pahlavi family had problems but they were respected and would have been an asset to the country if reformed and preserved.
But Iranians like school children turned a forward-looking country into a hellhole that it is still 33 years later. I wish another two decades of mullahs on the Iranian people so they never do anything so stupid again.
Germans supported Hitler, they were defeated ina war, lost 1/4 of their country and lived in a divided nation for 50 years. That taught them well not to listen to a guy like Hitler again. Iranians must suffer like that to learn their lesson.

I hope for the day that all iranians can ski freely in iran again!


Arj

Iranian posture!

by Arj on

Even she, a seasoned skier who's skied with the best instructors in the world, has the typical Iranian posture! That's how one can tell an Iranian skier apart from afar; who he/she leans back as if ready to sit at any moment!

by hamsade ghadimi on

oon yaroo, lol.  great imagery.

pendar, true. she was also totally oblivious to the plunge in hell that the people in iran were going to take as every iranian was.  no need to take pity on farah on her family!

by vildemose on

She is a great skier for sure but the timing was not right. It was written all over her face. She was not oblivious to what was going on.... 

Separation of Church and State AND Corporation

Farah's mink fur hat looks so politically incorrect!

Last turn

by پندارنیک on

She surely enjoyed the slopes of the snowy mountains in our beloved homeland, totally unaware of the deep political, social and popular plunge which awaited her super-corrupt family and her schizophrenic,dictator husband.

Good riddance.
