Just watch how Obama is one step ahead of Prince Philip when they walk to and from reviewing the guard of honour. The only exception is when your host is a lady like HM the Queen.

by jasonrobardas on Mon Jun 27, 2011 05:16 AM PDTGetlemen .....Please....Look at the protesters in this video. They have covered their faces because they do not want to be identified ! obvious proof that Shah's regime was brutal and that it imprisoned, tortured and killed the dissenters.
If he was truly a democratic leader as you young gullibles assume, the Iranians would not have to express their grievances incognito . They would not be be fearing for their lives and their families .
Now these are the people far away from Iran, on the other side of the ocean and yet they fear retribution . Inside Iran you would not even think about protesting . Like it or not , Shah's stagnant , oppressive regime paved the way for the status quo !
You young fellas just got captivated by the glamour and the glitter of the Shah and the crowns and the thrones and the facade and the .........
Rooheh Shah Shad, Marg bar propagandistah va demogogha
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Sun Jun 26, 2011 02:56 PM PDTAfter everything Iranians have been through at the hands of the USA and the IRI and especially with the consent of those who want to see democracy for Iran, this would be an excellent speech for Today.
LBJ says:
You are winning without any violence and without any blood shed, a lesson that others still have to learn.
To destroy the exsisting order , to dismiss the past without a plan for the present or the Future, well that is never enough.
We Americans challenge every propagandist and every demagougue whether he speaks on the radio waves of the world or in the streets of our own cities to demonstrate his commitment to progress with the facts and the figures. The people of the world cry out for progress, not for propaganda.
And then the Hypocricy of funding Khomeini, Saddam, MEK. American Torture centers managed by CIA in various countries including Greece, Egypt and Afghanistan.
We Iranians challenge the USA to with actions to prove they are sincere about LBJ's speech and realize it's significance.
Oh well
by Reality-Bites on Sun Jun 26, 2011 01:21 PM PDTThe protesters' wishes came true 12 years later and look where we are now!
Still, MRP should've at least listened to those protesters, regardless of whether they were right or wrong and took on board criticism, instead of pushing on with believing only he knew what was best for the country and dismissing contrary views, until it was too late.
نه، یادم نیست.

اصلا هنوز به دنیا نیومده بودم در ۱۹۶۷، و هر اتفاقی در اون سال افتاد ربطی به من و نسلی که بعد از اون سال دردناک به دنیا اومدن نداره!
ولی این رو میدونم، اگه این روزها یک روزنامه در ایران جرات بکنه اینچنین جسارتی به شازده حسن نصرولله بکنه در عکس دیدن این والاحضرت با ولی فقیه، اون روزنامه و تمام کارمنداش از سردبیر بگیر تا دربون، سرشون از کهریزک و اوین خواهد در اومد!
تبریک :)

No matter how you look at it but both pro and anti Shah folks today would give an arm and a leg to be where their predecessors once were in 1967!
