Back in the 80' I had the pleasure of meeting, and working with some Iranins that came here after the fall of the Shaw. All of them with one exeption said that the Shaw and the US where the best thing ever to happen to Iran, we prevented a civil war and allowed the country and people to prosper without violance. The Shaws secret police prevented what is happining in Iraq rite now.
The Islamic uprising was started by Kohminie and his ilk by subverting the collage kids and rabble rousing amoung the welfare class.

We did, eh? Well, we DID help with Iran's nuclear program back then, but we won't talk about THAT. The Shah was just the bit of a tyrant and the human rights abuses under his regime would have made even Saddam slightly jealous. Remember SARVAK? Nah, why would you?
And the "welfare class" was comprised mostly of displaced agricultural workers who had the audacity to demand jobs that paid enough to provide them and their families with housing and food, but I guess you and your buddies were busy gambling with the Shah's sister and living the high life in Monte Carlo, so you missed reading the fine print.
HOOrah!
