The second the Shah was kicked out of Iran, that was the end of Iran..My friend and her family fled Iran when the Shah was kicked out. Iran used to be a democracy, a sovereign country, the second the Hoomani came in that was it, the end of Iran
Yes, one of my college professors was friends with the then British ambassador to Iran (this was before the fall of the Shah), and we all got invited to the professor’s house to meet the ambassador and hear him make a presentation about Iran,complete with slide show with the old Kodak slide projector. The British ambassador went on and on about what a wonderful country Iran was, how beautiful it was, all the wonderful architecture there, especially Isfahan. This was all before Iran got sent back to the Stone Age by the Ayatollah, supported by Dumbsh*t President Jimmah Cahtah. Then of course Iran took the hostages and Reagan wiped Carter’s butt off the map in the election.
“The second the Shah was kicked out of Iran, that was the end of Iran.
We knew some Persians. who were here before the Shah was deposed, and some who escaped the Mullahs. They warned us about the new Iran with the Mullahs. How we would be portrayed as the Great evil Satan.
A son was in College and had several Persian Classmates,and they told him the same thing our Persian friends said. The Iranian thugs who came into his college were bathless and complete dirty animals.
About 2 years, ago the Persians, we knew were selling their excellent businesses in California and just disappeared. An Iraqi Muslim business person, we knew, felt they had sold their businesses to have funds to go back to Iran when something like this happened and have cash to help the good Persians.
We will see.
