Persian Realm

Dear DK

Thank you for providing us with all the links and videos.  When I have a week or two off, I will put off going to vacation to watch them. 

Meanwhile, when I see you, a hardcore supporter of the Pahlavis post lots of supportive videos from these Saudi old farts, inform us about the oppointment of another 80 year old "prince" as the heir to the throne (or, is it the sand castle?), pretend that the Saudi women are going places and then mix them up with your videos.......where is the demarkation line?

MM Where did you see me equate RP 2 Or Pahlavis to the Saudis ?

If you are referring to this pictory:

Diplomatic History:Shah and King Faisal discuss Future of Persian Gulf (1971) 

Then like Mammad you clearly don't even bother to read or watch the content of my blogs before commenting do you ?

In the above pictory The Shah actually slams Mike Wallace  for using the term "Gulf" and "Arabian Gulf" instead of calling it "Persian Gulf".

The purpose was to precisely show the Opposition between the two monarchies not their similarities.

Hence why I find this blog pertinent as to knowing who Iran has to deal with in the region Today, particularly given the recent controversy in regard to the Saudi Prince Assassination plot and the fact that this current Prince may well become the next King of Saudi Arabia.  

We don't live in Mars You know ? We have Arab neighbors and the people who rule those countries and their policies inevitably have an effect on the region and on our own Nation's policies and geo strategic priorities. 

As a matter of fact Your NIAC President wouldn't even be benefitting from his latest Publicity Stint so as to launch his Fundraising:

Were it not for the genuine efforts of another so called Arab "Despot" Monarch who got them out in the first place ... 

Karim Sadjadpour on Sultan Qaboos’ 'honest broker' role in ending US hikers Ordeal 

So Some Modesty on behalf of Trita would be welcome ! 

My Royal Forum blogs cover Royalty in the News regardless of whether the news in question contributes positively or negatively to the general perception people can have on the monarchy as a system of government and or a political institution.

Unlike Dogmatic Jomhurykhahs  I have no taboos to look at the past  or debate about the past whether it's in relation to the Pahlavis or the Monarchy in general.

If I am guilty of anything it's that I am opinionated. But then I'd rather be defend what I believe in than be a Fashion Victim or Member of an ever changing Hezbeh Baad.

What stops others to prove me wrong ? Or blog on subjects of interest to you ? 

If anyone has a dogmatic approach here it's mostly Johhurykhahs who cannot handle their own insecurities nor come to terms with the reality of the world we live in.

A world which is far more heterogenous than meets the eye and where nations and people have different values, outlooks and live under very different systems of government and are confronted to a large spectrum of challenges.

You may not like that fact but you cannot dismiss it merely because it does not fit YOUR Tastes or political preference! 

The World is not reduced to Los Angeles or Washington You know ...

Nor Cocktail Parties on Capitol Hill for NIAC Salon intellectuals ...  

Your NIAC President Should know better given that he is a Subject of this Fellow ...

So before trying to lecture these Arab's "Keh Tajeh Kiani Kardan Arezoo" ...

I recommend you folks to first Fix the Shit Your Republic has created and then and Only then will it entitle you folks to legitimately lecture those you deem as culturally and politically inferior to yourselves.

But in the meantime look in the mirror and see what Your Poor Choice :

has imposed on Iranian Men and Wormen for the past 3 decades ...

Best,

DK

PS: MM Jan By "YOU", I do not necessarily mean "YOU" the individual but given that this is a public forum and I am referring to an anonymous crowd my response addresses what I deem as being "YOUR" political constituency ( i.e: Jomhurykhahs) to which you are entitled ( I just happen not to share it). So however provocative there is nothing personal in my comment. 

suite yourself, DK

You can play around with "your" TP all you want, but when you equate cesspools like the Saudi kingdom with the Pahlavis, you certainly do not help the cause of RPII who "tries" to talk about the secularization of Iran! 

Doesn't look good for women's lib in Da Kingdom

does it?

Hey, give'm time, it's only been 14 centuries, you know.

Please stick with the Pahlavis and their future role in a secular Iran.  Saudi Arabian Kingdom, and especially their treatment of women, is in a different century (maybe even era) compared to the Pahlavis.

DK Jaan

In fairy tales, a Crown Prince used to be a young and handsome guy wearing a uniform and riding a white horse not this fat, old and ugly dude!

But thanks for posting the pictures of the Princess. She is the only decent thing that has come out of that god forsaken desert!

One old, ugly guy replacing another one reminds me of the Brezhnev succession during the 80's; One dropping dead after another.

anglophile Jan this is really getting fun ;0))

Hee Hee ...

Haaj Agha Sahimi! Your list conveniently missed the most

important item:

Saudi regime spent millions of dollars to aid the fall of the Shah.

If for nothing else you should be eternally grateful to the Ale-Saud Haaji :))

A dinosaur regime promoted by DK

The SA regime is absolutely one of the worst in the entire world. By posting pictures and clips of beautiful women DK is trying to give this terrible regime a good face. Just look at the system.

King Abdollah is close to 90 years old. His Crown Prince was 80 something, and the new CP is also close to 80. What does this mean? A regime that

opposed Revolution in Egypt and Tunisia and was angry at US for it;

participated in the crimes of NATO in Libya;

invaded Bahrain to suppress the majority;

funded the Mujahedin in Afghanistan in the 1980s that later became Al-Qaeda;

funds the madrasas in Pakistan and elsewhere that are breading ground for extremism;

supports the Jundallah terrorists that kill Iranians;

wants to bring an extremist Salafi-type regime in Syria;

produced a majority of al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq;

has become a home for discredited dictators, from Idi Amin and Bin Ali to Ali Abdollah Saleh, 

produced 15 out of 19 terrorists of 9/1, 

and many many other criminal acts,

has not been able to produce a second or third generation princes to take over. And, so, one dinasaur after another takes over this terrible regime. That is how bankrupt and terrible this regime is.

And yet, DK, whose expertise has become reporting on dysfunctional and extinct monarchies around the world, promote these people! Why? It is a monarchy!

Mammad
