“The Shah only fell because Carter withdrew US support.”

Does it make a difference ? The shah was a dictator. If he would have treated his people well they wouldn’t have made a revolution in ‘79. With or without support of the US.

It’s almost the same we can see in egypt. Mubarak was a dictator with US support. Zero withdrew US support, the people organized a revolution and got a muzzi regime instead. History repeating ... The only difference is that the egypts dispossed Mursi the muzzi dictator a few days ago while the “green revolution” in Iran couldn’t overcome the muzzi regime.

Yes, it makes a big difference. The Shah was a king, not a dictator, besides. The Shah was one of the Middle East leaders who were absolutely willing to stem to tide of Islamic socialism, which is based on National socialism, and was not unfriendly to Israel. He also stood against communistic prime minister Mosaddegh and that man’s nationalization schemes. Should he have allowed all the communists and Islamists to have free rein?

The “green revolution” had no support from the USA, and that failed too. See the pattern?
