Thanks for all these positive sentences and thank you for sharing your comments with me.

President Carter was not aware of the dangers that these Mullahs may provide for the world security and he didn't back our Shah too. I agree with you!

But believe me or not, we Persians have many differences with Arabs and that is why we can fight for our democracy and freedom and we are honored of our past times.

This is a fascinating thread. I'm learning a lot here.

Are reformists more or less unified in what change they want or are there numerous small groups wanting different kinds of new government (secular democracy, theocracy...)?

President Carter was an idiot. He came in saying we had to get over our "inordinate fear of Communism" then 3 years later expressed shock at the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

I am sorry his perfidy lost Iran to the Mullahs. Iranians deserved better.
