Missed on this blog while trying to settle down and get my life organised on this island.

Thx, @DK.

Now, Tito and the late Shah.

I've said once there were similarities. Most important of them all, while they had both ruled their countries (rural and underdeveloped at the time) with an iron fist, they had set them on the path of industrialization and development and they gave their peoples sense of importance, reason for being there and counting for something.

Thanks Mr. Kadivar, this is a precious blog and everything...

Let's admit it. Tito was far more original, charming, and charismatic than His Majesty.......was a good cook too, according to Oriana Fallachi's memoirs.......or was it Sophia Loren after this visit?.............Anyway......his legacy was NAM, which supercedes every single piece of nonsensical propaganda about the Shah....

Mr. Kadivar: you live very much in past

by Arash Kamangir on Tue Jun 19, 2012 11:42 AM PDT

With all respect take this from me who is like yourself a monarchist that we should not focus so much on the past which is indeed a matter of proud  for Iranians however our country is going through very crucial times and we need to focus on how we can get rid of evil in our country.

Many Iranians and non-Iranians were not kind to Shah ....

I was in Yugoslavia before it split and Belgrade (which means white city or castle) was very similar to Tehran when Shah was in power.  Both leaders had many things in common.  Tito is revered in Eastern Europe but Shah poorly remembered.  Shah did as much for Iran as Tito did for old Yugoslavia.  Iran and Iranians did better under Shah than Yugoslav people under Tito.  Many Iranians and non-Iranians were not kind to Shah.
