I have never met a socialist, a marxist or a member of the communist party (yes, we have all of these in Austalia also) who didn't say at some time or other, exactly what you just said...
If Hitler said "2+2=4", would you later imply that all teachers of arithmetic are Nazis? Your logic on this subject is putridly flawed. I recommend you think it through Fred... think it through...
Really - You might want to do a little research on SAVAK. I hate to be the one to tell you - but everything is not always black and white. Not everyone on the Right was Mr. Perfect. One of the Directors of SAVAK has written a book - you might want to take a look. SAVAK used horrible means of torture on the Shah's political enemies and killed literally thousands of Iranians.
If speaking the truth makes me a "socialist, Marxist or communist" in your eyes - so be it, but you couldn't be farther from the truth. I detest the Islamofascists and everything they stand for.
That does NOT make the Shah's Secret Police disappear from history.
Remember it is the LIBERALS who think that history began this morning. Conservatives should know better.
I suppose you think the Tsar's Secret Police or Gulag prisons in Siberia shouldn't be mentioned either - just because the communists spoke against it?
Hey Freddie, if there was no criminally repressive SAVAK then why did the pathologically afraid shah imprison Nassiri, SAVAK's head as a last ditch attempt to forestall the revolution?
