Columbia University and evil dictators
Louis Proyec, The Unrepentant Marxist: "When Bollinger told Ahmadinejad that he exhibited “all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator,” the Iranian president might have wondered whether great and cruel dictators are judged by a different yardstick at the university. After all, the Shah of Iran was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree only two years after the CIA organized a coup to overthrow Mossadegh [1955]. By any measure, the Shah was one of the most horrible dictators of the post-WWII period. One supposes that as long as he was on the State Department’s A list, Columbia University would be happy to put down the red carpet for the torturing beast." >>>

Qumars/Q, in your response
by Anti-IRI (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 09:46 PM PDTQumars/Q, in your response to me you refered to me as "anti-iran". Why? because I chose the name anti-IRI for my ID? Since when being anti-IRI means anti-Iran? You got this in reverse.
Now go lick clean a basiji ass.
Qumars is a snitch?

I am anti-IRI and I hate the mullahs. I'll dare you to snitch on me. I'll even give you my name and address, as long as I can meet with you face to face... Deal?

Anti-Iran: do you speak English?
by Q on Sat Oct 06, 2007 06:37 PM PDTI demonstrated below why I'm calling people fascists based on the vicious mentality demonstrated in the posts below. Anyone curious, can review my reasons by reading. In addition I attacked "foam-in-the-mouth butt-kissing Monarchists" without naming names. Does that describes you? If so, you have a right to be offended.
You on the other hand, have absolutely no basis of fact that I'm "pro-IRI", you cite no writing of mine and your incoreherent tirade makes no sense whatsoever. Once again, I called people like Jamshid fascists for what they wrote which can be read by anyone below. You are just angry and frustrated that the world doesn't work according to your fantasies.

I.R. Not a worst violator of human rights? Oh yah!
by face the fact (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 05:16 PM PDTHere is the Am. Int. data from last year (2006) regarding executions only: #1: china with 1000+ executions, #2: I.R. with 177 executions (this year I.R. execution are 221 so far). If one considers per capita data, iran becomes #1.

You are a pro-IRI soldout who turns his face away from the mullahs who are torturing, murdering and raping your fellow brothers and sisters.

Who knows? Maybe you have even snitched on one or two of the freedom fighters. Your likes do this a lot, everyone knows that. Maybe even right now one of my fellow countrymen is being tortured so a GARBAGE like you can come here and throw up his opinions on this site.

by Qumars (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 01:05 PM PDTsure, whatever, I'm all for Animal rights. as far as comparing, Iran has never SINCE the revolution been eemed the "worst" violator in the world by Amnesty International, EVER. If foam-in-the-mouth butt-kissing Monarchists want to blame Saddam's invasion on the current regime, than, there really is no point in trying to reason with them. These cowards sat on their ass in hollywood and London while 17 year old bassiji's threw themselves under tanks so there can BE an Iran these assholes can fight over. Now they blame the victim for the atrocities of the US-backed aggressor? Have you no shame? (I know the answer of course, just look what they do to anyone who dares think differently.)
To Caspianseamermaid
by face the fact (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 12:26 PM PDTI am with you on your point. Comparing IR leaders, with animals is an insult to the poor animals. I just don't know what the right adjective would be: changiz khan, taymoure-lang, alexander the great! -- even these were rather harmless towards their own people.
Petty & Cruel Dictator
by Anonymous Iranian (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 10:53 AM PDTThe Shah was at worst an autocrat. If he was the dictator you think he was, all those who are in charge of Iran now, would have been DEAD! But they're alive. And the reason this regime has survived as long as it has, is not its democratic ways, but the simple fact that the opposition has been decapitated and has no leadership. Those that were executed during the Shah's time were marxist bank robbers or terrorists, and they died deservedly.
To Face-the-fact and others . ANIMALS?

Please, stop comparing every insane maniac to animals. Thank you.
animals are those who murdered tens of thousands of our youth
by face the fact (not verified) on Sat Oct 06, 2007 09:56 AM PDTand their backers in the past 28 years viciously (see Am. Int. reports). Being shahollahi is not an insult anymore, even though it is an oxymoron. Maybe it was an insult back in the seventies that shah was considered a violator of human rights, and he was, but nothing compared to murderers in IR who murdered our youth under the name of allah and mofsed-o-felarz. Go back and read Am. Int. reports, from both seventies and post revolution, and compare them objectively rather than by the sole force of vulgarity. Here is the fact: no iranian shah in history (excluding foreign aggressors like mongols, tatars, arabs, and eskandar) killed as many innocent iranians as the IR. Even agha-mohammad-khane ghajar who was a nasty character is a saint compared to likes of emam and his godless gangesters. Had emam not abused the trust that iranians put in him by murdering their youth in thousands, robbing their resources and sending $s to arabs, and lying to the country continuously, we would not be seeing any 'shahoallahi' today that would dream of the good old days -- and there are lots of 'shahollahis' today even among youth inside iran, even though the chance of going back to those day (with reza pahlavi) is pretty much zero. Governing iran is a very difficult task as long as we have lots of people who are emotional and vulgar, in the name of either allah or marx, instead of rational and objective.

Foaad, I apologize on behalf of these animals.
by Qumars (not verified) on Fri Oct 05, 2007 07:22 PM PDTI apologize to you on behalf of these animals. They are nothing bu fascist animals. they are cowards who have no honor, dignity or humanity. They just as well hide behind their fake names and fake lives and smear anyone they want unfairly. jamshid is a known asshole shahollahi. He has been caught redhanded slandering you, and he doesn't hvae the balls to even admit it. what a pathetic excuse of a human. jamshid slandered you AND JJ and he's too chickenshit to admit it.
But you also really need to have thick skin round here. the place is crawling with fascists and shahollahis. I actually agree with the text of this blog and even that's not a crime, let alone just forwarding a link. Iran under the shah was the worst human rights violater in the entire 70's.
That's from Amnesty International, you apologist assholes.

Re: Fooad Which link?
by jamshid on Fri Oct 05, 2007 05:47 PM PDTFooad, do you mean you sent the link to the picture only? Or the link to the picture and also to the text too? Please respond.
PS to Jamshid
by Foaad Khosmood on Fri Oct 05, 2007 04:24 PM PDTSir First, I'm terribly sorry to have to say that you are a liar. This is what you wrote:
Foad, if you want to be taken seiously, even by your own likes, then please refrain from exageration.
You say that "The shah was one of the most horrible dictators..." ???? Dictator? Yes by all means.
and now you make the unlikely claim that not only yourself but ALL people below knew that it wasn't me who said this, even though you yourself used the words "you say"? That's a terrible lie.
Secondly. You just now claimed that if someone just excerpted the text, it means that they deserve the vitriol, just like the author. Well, it was Jahanshah Javid who did that. Are you willing to say the he deserves all this vitriol, including the attacks on his character and name?
Did you see movaffagh?
by face the fact (not verified) on Fri Oct 05, 2007 03:59 PM PDTAn iraqi official was just on CSPAN saying that he doesn't mind pain to be brought on tehran. this is what you get from an arab, back stabbing instead of apologizing to all iranians for a devastating war that they began on iran. this is the true nature of arabs and what they wish for iranians. shame on I.R.I. for being so pro-arab and anti-irani.
I didn't excerpt the text, JJ did
by Foaad Khosmood on Fri Oct 05, 2007 03:48 PM PDTAll I did was forward the link to him by email, as I do periodically. Are you ready to apologize, Jamshid? Otherwise, I'm very busy.
Re: Fooad
by jamshid on Fri Oct 05, 2007 03:43 PM PDTWe ALL know how to read and we ALL know your text was an excerpt from Proyec. But by extracting that text from his site and posting it here, YOU have concurred with his words. Therefore his words are an echo of your opinion. Therefore BOTH Proyec and you deserves this "vitriol" as you call it.
If I am wrong then why don't you tell us all what is YOUR opinion of the Shah?
I didn't write the text!
by Foaad Khosmood on Fri Oct 05, 2007 03:19 PM PDTOh my God! This was written by Louise Proyec, it's a excerpt from his blog. So, perhaps that's who deserves this vitriol, not me.
Foad sounds like an arabic name
by Just an iranian (not verified) on Fri Oct 05, 2007 02:44 PM PDTwalks like an arab, sounds like an arab, talks like an arab, cares about iran like an arab would, then he must be an arab. Just like I.R. leaders, who are really arabs occupying iran: they always start their talk in arabic, with some broken farsi words in-between; their religion is arabic; their customs are arabic; they have been robbing iran's resources and sending cash to arabs for the past 28 years; even their flag is all arabic words stepping on the sacred three-color flag of iran. So they must be arabs, specially in heart, behaviour, and religion, who have leaned to speak a broken farsi, and have dominated iran for 28 years. Who cares about words of arabs, they never have had anything good for iran. Case closed.
It is true. The Shah was a dictator
by ShahRokh Niavarani (not verified) on Thu Oct 04, 2007 05:50 PM PDTBy Western standards The Pahlavis ran a dictatorship. No one voted for the Shah. By western standards the theocracy is also a dictatorship. And the Iranian leftists would also bring about a dictatorship if they were allowed to rule. All you people do is complain. And the Monarchists are as bad as everyone else. You people should stop being Iranians and start being Americans. And you Iranians in Europe should start being Europeans. And the Iranians in Canada should start being Canadian.

A serious question
by Serious (not verified) on Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:42 AM PDTHi! Does anyone know any reliable source, like Amnesty Int., and not any rants and anecdotes, that would sum up the number of executions during two pahlavi shahs versus I.R. A couple of days ago, a TV channel (I guess it was CNN) said that 221 people have been executed so far this year in iran. And I saw amnesty int. report saying number of executions peaked in 1988 to close to 5000 (although others have put that as high as 35000 (from Montazeri?)). This puts the total executions in IRI at around tens of thousands versus maybe hundred during pahlavis. Don't be insulting, just rational if you have a reliable answer for me. I just want to know the truth, not opinions and emotions. One more thing, i heard grand son of emem put that number at roughly about 100 times larger for IRI than for pahlavis' period. Mersi.
I guess you are from the same clan as emam or rajavis
by Not from IRI (not verified) on Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:24 AM PDTAt least shah was iranian and praised everything iranian. I.R. rulers are all farsi-speaking arabs; the evidence: they care more about arabs than iranians, they have put the country at the verge of war for arabs, with devastating consequences, not for them, but for the beautiful people of iran. Comparing shah with the criminal gang in I.R. only makes shah more of an angel. Ask any 'iranian' if they wished the shah to have had taken care of all these vatan-foroush mullas and rajavi clan, and i bet the majority would say yes (sadly, in rear view mirror). If you are not an iranian however, in origin and in heart, you should dislik him so much, and probably you must like I.R. dearly.

I could go on but your uneducated ignorant ass probably doesn't recognize half of these names, why mention less famous ones?). Vaghean afsoos...
Really?!?
by Mehdi (not verified) on Wed Oct 03, 2007 03:38 PM PDTIf the Shah was indeed one of the most "horrible dictators of the post WWII war", as Faood so biasedly claims, then Iran today would have been a much much better place. Why? Because all the Mullahs & Akhonds would have persihed under torture & through summary executions and public hangings during Shah' reign. Unfortunatley, that was not the case.
Don't you sometimes wish it was though?
Tell us Faood,( we assume you are Iranian) did you live in Iran during the Shah's reign? how much do you really remember? Or are you one of those post revolution productions whose perception of tha past is twisted and distorted by constant IRI attempts to re-write our history.
