Thanks for posting this. interesting read. 

It really is too bad that the Shah didn't kill more of these communist viruses. After all, we're talking Iran, not Sweden. We're talking a bunch of low IQ, emotional, and easily manipulated morons who wanted to hand Iran over to the USSR. And they ultimately planted the seeds, and started, the 1979 Devolution, which brought us to where we are today. Thik about it this way: even if Shah had killed a !00,000 of these idiots, that still would have been a small fraction of the general population, and a similarly small fraction of the deaths that have happened as a result of the Devolution. Plus, our country wouldn't have been the isolated and sanctioned terrorist state that it is today. We would have a great economy, and a great standing in the world. Letting these idiots waste earth's precious oxygen was one of Shah's many mistakes.

AO, how could he do that? He was a soft guy, call it humanitarian if you like. He was under the watchful eye of western media and he actually cared what they say about him! On top of that he really believed that as a king of country, he is representing just about 99% of the people, his rule had to be by some sort of  compassion or act god or what ever else is out there  but not by force!  (He even mentions it in his own book).

Shah of Iran in 1979 was not the same man who once said "if they cut my hand I will not Azarbijan separate from Iran" The  rest is history as they say

MRX- I actually completely agree with you. For a Middle Eastern ruler, and especially for an Iranian ruler, Shah was too soft and kind hearted. He treated Iranians with compassion and respect--which they clearly did not deserve, and more importantly, did not understand. He should have treated them like the IR - killed more than a million of them in executions, war, etc. and jailed, tortured and brutally silenced the rest of them at gun point. Then he would have earned their respect.   

"He treated Iranians with compassion and respect", LOL

His government was as careless as the present one, only their ideology was different.

Don't LOL too hard AmirtheBear. Didn't Shah leave when people demonstrated and said they didn't want him? Didn't he gave a speech saying I heard you? You think the IR will do the same? They will kill every man, woman, and child in Iran and turn the country into a pile of ash before they leave. How many people did Shah kill? In 37 years he executed fewer than 500 people, and that included rapists, terrorists, and murderers. Khomeini killed that many in one day-- on his lunch break. Get some perspective dude. This whole "Shah was the same" is the biggest load of crap that lazy, low IQ Iranians believe. And I'm talking about people who saw Khomeini's image on the moon, and think that their savior has been living in a well for the past 1400 years. Even for them this is f**king stupid

First thing first. I need to say this becuase you are claiming you have a higer IQ than mine. Just because your opinion is different to mine, does that mean you can insult anyway you want? Have I ever called you Anus Obsever? you are a typical example of so called democracy in Iran. In fact, considering your past comments, you are very similar to IRI supporters, the moment going gets tough you open your mouth.

Secondly we all have our own lives and experience. I don't know much about you except that you have not grasped the idea of free speech like an educated person yet. Do you know much about my life? Do you know me? (except my IQ). All the thing you said about shah are your opinion. Neither shah nor Khomeini ordered most of the executions, but I agree who ever was in charge was also responsible.

You need to consider the following; 

- Did you personally see Shah in his office?

- Did you see privately how he treated Muslims? (since you have higer IQ, I need to remind you that this was before 9/11)

- How much do you know about his private life?

- How much do you know about events in Tehran before he left?

Since your IQ is higher than mine, it is time instead of repeating what your dady and others saying, do some in depth research for yourself to see what kind of king of kings leaves his beloved country in the hands of mullahs?

Your assumptions about your king of kings is as foolish and backward as the moon image, just an imagination.

It's been nice, quiet and fairly civil around this site for the past few days with good arguments but no vulgarity. I guess it proves that for many Iranians, especially the few BiBi Basijis around here with multiple user id's, if you crack the whip, they run away and hide under a rock!

Good job! And let's once again quote from the Cool Hand Luke:

"What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."

Don't jinx it...

My investigations show that the reason the few BiBi Basiji user id's that have disappeared from this site is that their postings have been redacted. The content was believed to be of lower intelligence and not worthy of this site!

In the past 15+ years that I have visited IC and Irooni, this is the first time I notice their absence and possible a vacation that BiiBi Basijis are taking from their two-blog-a-day and other non-sense vulgar postings.  I wondered, did Netanya-WHO re-election resulted that they are no longer serve a value, if they ever did at IC/Irooni or did their campaign did so well that they all got a promotion and they moved up to other on-line publication?

Gentlemen,

I strongly recommend that you pursue this back and forth somewhere else. I left this alone for a while so that you may get your points across. But now you are using the vocabulary that is not suitable for my posts. I will delete all the comments in the near future. Thank you.

@Framarz,

I don’t mean to butt in to your business and blog, but stopping this would be greatly appreciate it by me.

If rumors are correct, some of the users that often resort to foul language as the first means of disagreement and using strong personal attach, for one reason and another, are gone.  This has given me hope to visit this site more often in hopes of having a place of exchanging of ideas and views without bringing our mothers and sisters into the conversation.

If you feel this is butting into your business, feel free to delete it.

I agree. I think that I should remove more of these comments. As I said above, you need to crack your whip with some folks.

Dear Bavafa,

My sincere apologies to you and those I may have insulted or made uncomfortable…it definitely was not my intention.  Or initiated that horrible foul language…although, should NOT have responded to it!

Problem arises from having a number of paid Israeli trolls on this site, portraying themselves as Iranians in order to confuse the audience and change opinion(s), not in favor of Iran or Iranians but her enemies.  As a staunched advocate of free press, I don’t think or believe that TRUTH should be emasculated or interfered with in any shape or form, either by paid foreign trolls or hustlers, as we have been witnessing here day in and day out.  ALL this could have been avoided, exercising or having some form of checks and balances.

Either way my sincere apologies to you and the independent minded/thinking, descent segment of this audience for not being sensitive enough.

Farzad Farsio, a professor of economics passed away after struggling for the past 4 years with lung cancer that his doctors had attributed to the bullet fragments in his lung.

RIP...

I am so sorry to hear that.

Hi Faramarz, this was interesting to read. Farzad Farsio is my dad, and unfortunately he recently passed (yes, from lung cancer, but not attributed to the bullets as was mentioned in an earlier comment). I was googling my grandfather's official title as I wanted to make sure I got it right for my eulogy today. It was nice to read about this tragedy from my dad's schoolmate's perspective. I wish I had come upon it earlier to show my dad, I'm sure he would have liked to read it.
