Iran and the Shah: What Really Happened

[ExPatPaki]

More women are college-educated in Iran under the Islamic government than under the Shah's oppressive regime. (four out of five women)

More women are doctors, lawyers, teachers in Iran under the Islamic government than under the Shah's oppressive regime. 1 in 4 doctors in Iran is a woman.

More women participate in parliamentary politics in Iran under the Islamic government than under the Shah's oppressive regime.

These little facts were found in my 9th grade high school world history book. Why does the author not mention these facts? So now its apparent that a 9th grade student is more educated about Iran than this retarded author at the New American.

Why does the New American have such low standards when choosing its authors?

There's only one factor I can see...imperialism. Can you, yourself, in your own words, without linking to NA, explain any of these other "many factors"?

A lot of Sunni Islamists believe that Khomeini was a CIA agent. I wonder if FrankRep holds the same belief as Sunni terrorists who blow up Shias in their mosques.

And isn't it a forum rule not to post entire articles? Or am I wrong about that?

That would only be because of copyright issues. I am more than sure that the TS has permission from The New American to post entire articles from their magazine.

Well, when it comes to the opium I think the REAL ones running the show want to keep the opium to keep flowing along with other drugs so they can keep the poor running the American system! That system would be our jails,prisons,courts,police departments, and all the other stuff that goes along with that! Imagine if there was no heroin
or all the other drugs that come into the country! Imagine all the jobs that would be lost! Imagine all the money in fines,fees, taxes that would be lost! Someone up there
wants the drugs to keep flowing!

Now to my original reason for posting here! I came accross a very interesting video and wanted some insight on your thoughts on this video! It shows the real reason we have all this propaganda over Iran and their nuclear proliferation!

This is the only article that i have ever read glorifying the Shah.Yes he meant good like every other dictator with good intentions but he was a total failure.

And I see that you started talking about the drug trade now I don't know about the USA but in Europe it goes Afghanistan,Kosovo ( both NATO colonies ) and then trough the Albanian mafia across Europe or from Central Asia trough the Russian mafia .
