Yep...I went to USN A-School in Memphis and there were a good number of Iranians there.
Nobody will be able to convince me that the Shah of Iran was even a tenth as bad as the Islamic regimes are.
Thus the Shah studied and understood the tragedy of the Russian Revolution, the even worse evil of the Bolshevik theft of that Revolution, and the rise of the Soviet.
He realized exactly what would happen to Iran should the Communist "Democracy" succeed, ... mass murder, starvation and absolute poverty.
He sent many Iranians to the United States for education (figuring the US would educate their own citizens on how to protect their own Free Republic, with Iranians sitting next to them).
He invited me, my family and many Americans to Iran to teach English, American history, and American Ideals to Iranians throughout the Nation.
American Communists, DemoRats, and their agent Jimmah Carter rejected a man who was more American than all of them and the American Media could ever be.
