The CIA and DIA that put his father in power don’t exist anymore.
Iran is over 97% Muslim with most being Shias.
Based on the full article, I don't understand how an appeal of: let's be more like the Infidels, and modernize, and adopt Infidel ways, and collaborate with them would appeal to any Muslims, even Shias.
Can there really be that many Muslim heretics and apostates in Iran? -Tom
For the life of me, I can’t imagine why Reza is sympathetic to the United States views after the treatment his dad got during the Carter “fiasco years”.
For one thing, I’d have hunted Carter down for what he did to my dad if I were Reza.
Here was a man, our ally, and Carter not only helped get him kicked out of Iran, he refused to allow him to come to the U. S. for cancer treatment. Here was the Shah, very ill, transferring from country to country seeking treatment. It still angers me 35 years later.
I’ll never forget how the “Christian” Carter treated the Shah. As a Christian, Carter was and is a fraud.
If Reza were any real threat to the Mullahs, I suspect that Obama would move against him.
“Politically, he supports a secular, democratic state, content to allow the people of Iran to determine their preference between a constitutional monarchy (more similar to but less absolute than was his father’s rule) and a representative Republic.”
Bolony he just wants to be a tyrant and want’s America to
put him in power as a puppet like his daddy.
Put this sniveling little tard in the octagon with Carter.
30 minute bout.
“he courageously and patriotically volunteered to serve as a combat pilot for Iran during that nation’s 1980 war with Iraq.”
Weren’t we backing Iraq?
The entire mess we are in can be traced back to Carter’s betrayal of the Shah of Iran.
