Sorry, I just can't see the Iranian people sitting still for the US putting another Pahlavi on the throne (again!) no matter how disgusted they are with the mad mullahs.

The people hated the fact the Shah was a ruthless dictator and replaced a freely elected westernized government under Dr. Mossadegh simply because he wanted to nationalize oil.

If RP can truly disassociate himself from Washington--make this *his* battle, not *ours* then he stands a strong chance of going back. Otherwise, he's doomed.

Some people don't quite get that the Iranian revolution was never about Islam. People of Iran are and have always been far closer to Shah's ideological outlook than to the Ayatollahs. It's just that the Shah was an absolute dictator with absolute power.

Mullahs hiijacked the revolution towards the end and murdered all the groups who got together to overthrow a dictator.
