The Forgotten Iran

Iran, the trash that it is since Jimmy Carter gave the green light for the Shia Mullahs like Khomeini, funded by the CIA. But what was Iran before 1979? I can remember watching videos and reading books about it. Want me to elaborate? Good, let's go through from my eyes.

Iran, during the early parts of the 20th Century until 1925, was ruled by various dynasties, the last one before the Pahlavis were the Qajars, which was weak and made Iran look like a baby needing to have a diaper by the bigger powers. Enter the Pahlavis, staging a coup against the weak Qajars. What happened next?

Modernization(interrupted only during WWII), emancipation of women, true equality, classical liberalism(not the LIBERALISM I am mentioning often), recognized a regional power by the world and a beacon of light in the middle of war-torn Middle East.

You can argue the last Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was repressive in some cases, but he was Iran's only man to stand up even against his American and British bosses, which was rare at that time, even if he was criticized as too pro-Western. He was not, in fact he keeps his Shia Muslim faith while recognizing the religious minorities around the country. He made sure ordinary Iranians are better educated, better facilities, women equal to men and their nuclear power was for peace, unlike the current trash sitting in Tehran.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to and end.

Jimmy Carter turned on the Shah, favoring the Mullahs who were in exile or killing themselves and blaming it on the Shah, who was dying even before the revolution with cancer.

You won't see an Iran that is bustling with malls and buildings, women not wearing the hijab, anyone can be a successful in any fields.

Iranian exiles will never forget how the CIA and the Mullahs destroyed their beloved Iran.

Would anything change with US-Iran dialogue over Iraq?

I am pondering of another Iraqi invasion by the United States army. Yes! United States army. I tell you. But with Iran? Could enemies unite? History shows a lot as well. But these are former allies when one betrayed the other to support another and gets  embarrassed by that group. Let's take you back in time when i am a firm supporter and the Shah and criticizes the American decisions against the Shah.

I support the Shah and his family. Modernizing Iran as much as they could to be a counter-balance on Saudi Arabia, a traditional enemy and religious rival as well. You know, Shia vs Sunni Muslims. But i don't mind that. What matters for the Shah is a superpower Iran that can compete against any country. It is a showcase of what an Asian power can be if it stayed the same. There are rumors that America is syphoning the riches of Iran, but it is truly subsidized for his people. Educated citizens, no need to go abroad, a rising economy and emancipation of all women.

That all changed when US secretly supported the radical Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Faced with betrayal and a mere cheap shot by oil greedy American government, Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi as no choice but to have himself exiled in Egypt and Panama and back to Egypt were he died while going under the knife as he is battling cancer in 1980. It meant that America has no true friends, not even its own people. And the women in Iran are back to centuries old style while the radical Shiite government turned on Jimmy Carter and that meant the Iran hostage crises.

Back to 2014, what is Barrack Obama thinking? Alienating his Sunni friends for his Shiite foes? As i will tell everyone, History is very twisted!
