It is unnecessary, distracting and makes duplicate posts almost unavoidable.
Is it too much to ask to limit editorializing to the body of the thread?
I must admit to ignorance on this point..
I've worked very closely with dozens of Persians here in California -- and even my Persian friends disagree on this... Some believe Iran would still be a open modern high tech member of the "west" - if the Shah was in place. But others maintain he was so corrupt that he brough his downfall upon himself..
Interestingly enough -- the Christian and Muslim Persians I have known have mixed feeling on the Shaw... It is NOT a Christian/Muslim split.... It is just a split!
Where are you on this question?
The power of ONE MAN to shape and direct a nation's destiny is limited. The people and the soul of the nation must WANT and SECURE a leader to move them forward to freedom and self realization, and away from the entrapment of corruption or voodoo bullshit..
