Dear P_J,

Dear P_J,

Thank you.

Dear Masoud: Informative post as usual!

You have to realize that the Shahollahi/Hezbollah cult is still nostalgic about what WOULD or COULD HAVE BEEN, and what they were able to do at the Shah’s times, plundering country’s wealth like the mullahs today.

Mr. Tarreh-Gol

I could not agree with you more.   Problem is that the Shaholahi CULT is  still VERY MUCH stuck in the past and has no desire to look to the future or move forward, or at least learn from the past, except their continuous FEEBLE attempts to rewrite history.

They have created and got behind this highly unaccomplished, uneducated man that they still call the crown prince, more suitably the “CLOWN” prince.   A man that has done nothing in his entire life, except to spend the EMBEZZELED wealth that “Pahlavi Criminal Enterprise” brought out.   Yet, he possesses more hot air than the biggest hot air balloon, the Hindenburg!   They think this man that unlike most Iranians, has flunked out of the university, the Brown University, can save them so they can go back, start ransacking the country’s wealth once again, setting roots for Khomeini II.  

Bahmani: "A perfect paradise?!?"

Would you care to modify that, or at least elaborate.

Single- party state, slums dewellers all around every major city, SAVAK,..

Of course we really shouldn't care too much about these little details. It wasn't as if shah didn't make khomieni an overnight national star by publishing a letter on him in Ettellat, who cares about these historical details. Just blame Iranian people for an impossible situation from which they had practically no chance of survival, and hope for a restoration of monarchy, constitutional of course. and we're not monarchists of course, but when ever the opportunity comes we promote them, that's all.

If there was no shah, there would be no khomeini. If after 32 years you still haven't understood this, you're really behind the curve.

Thank God

as opposd to old generation, now we have hambastegi among different political forces and our eyes are on prize.

Clearly it was petty jealousies and power grabbing

Thanks for a great insight into the details of how we never got past the Shah at that time.

Clearly, the presence of politics, even in it's infancy back then, clouded enough folks' vision, to the point that the angling and brinksmanship for personal gain and power, of the folks on the verge of creating a democracy out of Iran, was the ultimate reason why we never got it done.

Clearly hambastegi, or eyes on the prize, or focusing on the greater good, was not then a common thing, and each of the players that ultimately collectively screwed it up for everyone and the world, thought only about how they could benefit themselves.

How sad!

This is also why personally, I don't often give the Older Generation much credit for anything except being lucky enough to have lived in the utopian fantasyland Iranian society was, under the Shah.

Because really, statistically, and literally, life in the shah's Iran was a perfect paradise compared to this disaster.

And I am by no means a fan of the Shah. But seriously, what a shame!
