If Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi was a freeper, he'd probably be flamed by the "we're not a democracy" crowd on FR who claim that having a "Republic" is always a good thing, and having a "democracy" is always a bad thing and leads to "mob rule" (though they seem to have plenty of mobs in their current Republic)
The Ayatollah transformed Iran from a Kingdom into a Republic. So he's a great guy, right?
We should hope the Iranian constitution gives Imanutjob power to unilaterally appoint all his fellow nutjobs to the Iranian legislature. Then they'd have an even better Republic!
Can't allow dreaded democracy in these dictatorships!
