"BTW, people who say that “the world is not so black and white” usually have an agenda, usually a liberal one."

Ya' know, I'm a retired Marine and have fought for this country three times. I don't have to justify my patriotism or love of this country to anyone, especially you. If you don't want to acknowledge that the Shah did some bad as well as good things then you are just ignorant and remind me of the monkey closing off his eyes, ears and eyes. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Yes, he hated communists and fought against them and he was a good cold war partner for us. That doesn't mean he didn't have flaws. As I pointed out earlier, a good communist fighter could be said about a lot of dictators during the cold war. People like Franco and Marcos. That doesn't mean they didn't oppress their own people. When you are one of those oppressed peoples, you are not as interested if your leader is fighting commies. It's not black and white. Go on in your ignorant bliss.

But you throw hard-left-wing sources to prove your arguments. And then when I don’t accept them, stand on your service record. With all due respect, lots of lefties stand on their service records too.

If you’re defining “did some bad” as going after terrorists, then I wonder what you’re on about.
