#leave-civilians--destroy government

MEME NAILS IT. Iran was a decent country prior to the revolution.

Oh? Like the Shah wasn't a tyrant?

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS COMMENT MINIAPPLEIS
I´d really really really like to know why you think he was a tyrant. please reply.
I think he was a great leader and he harmed no one during his leadership, but only wanted to build a better community.
He is the one who built universities and schools, not the Islamic Republic.
He was the one who let people think free and do what they like in a community.
After the gajars weakened Iran by their stupidity, Shah rebuilt Iran and started to make a powerful country in economy, Industry, Education, and much more.
Britain and America played a big role in forcing the shahs away and bringing the Islamic republic, and why is that? Because shah was not selling them oil for extremely cheap prices and was getting to be a powerful country.

The shah of Iran retains his benevolent [world] image despite the highest rate of death penalties in the world, no valid system of civilian courts and a history of torture which is beyond belief. ... the total number of political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year [1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000. - Amnesty International, 1975

And the islamic republic definitely doesn't perform human rights violations.. f**king please.

I never said they didn't. They just swopped one dictatorship for another.

those people were people super could have destroyed Iran, and called themselves rebels but were far more dangerous. They were trying to split Iran into pieces and build their own country.
What you is just like saying Trump is bad because he kills ISIS and Taliban!!

Saudi arabia gets weapons from the usa and kills innocent civillians in yemen

While slightly preferable to the Ayatollahs running Iran now, the Shah was a bloody butcher.

The US had the CIA stage a coup against the democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh for the sake of the UK's BP (British Persian) Oil, putting the Shah back in charge The US had deposed his father, Reza Shah, during WWII and replaced him with his own son, Mohammed Reza. Guy betrays his own father, and you claim he's not a tyrant?

The one who started buiding schools and factories and highways in Iran was the US, in order to modernize the country and prop up the puppet Shah. Oh, and the CIA also trained Savak. Are you familiar with Savak?
Harmed no one? Shush.

the Ayatollahs are ASSHOLES. All they want is power and money. I'm an Iranian, Ask me.

Ask you?
Granted, they teach you state propaganda, but you seem totally oblivious to the facts of recent Iranian history. You're in denial or just plain ignorant to what MiniAppels and myself told you.

I am saying things almost the exact opposite of what I have been taught, LIES.
After these lessons, our teacher always told us, ¨try to ignore these lessons and focus on math.¨
YOU are talking the way our lessons described things.

All the US did was take Reza shah away, because he would not sell them oil for a very cheap amount. The US never built anything other than the broken highway in Iran.
When Shah had cancer and was forced out of Iran by the US and Britain, and when he needed treatment, the US tried to force him into the bloody arms of Khomeini so they would kill him.
Also when you talk about oil, the oil belonged to Iran and no one else.
Even when not talking international, Reza Shah and his son gave the people of Iran freedom, but they did not know how precious it was and when the Islamic republic came, women were killed for NOT covering their hair!
Iran´s currency had over 70x more value back in shah´s leadership.

Fella, you're obviously Iranian. Granted, you've been raised on a lot of nonsense but there is a new invention the Great Satan God has given unto thee: The Interwebz.
Google. Learn. Know.

Iran - the second oldest country in the world - was such a backwater, they went by the name of Persia, A NAME GIVEN TO THEM BY A CONQUEROR 2500 YEARS AGO. Gosh, Aran forgot its own name until 1931. Pathetic.

Do you know why the American University in Tehran is called that? (Or was, probably now the Ayatollah Revolutionary Islamic reedducation center now). President Woodrow Wilson went about modernizing countries all over the world, ironically doing more for them then our own Blacks and Native Americans whom he hated. Iran was one of them. Go ahead, look at pictures of Iran in the early 1900s. The country was medievel.

The Shah - who had four personal physicians in his palace only 'realized' he had cancer AFTER he fled Iran and AFTER Khoemeini & Co demanded him back for trial. He was tested and treated in the US, as well as Mexico and wherever else. I used to call it Shahanshah disease, because former President Ferdinand Marcos suddenly got it too (heart attack) and 'died' when then Phillipines wanted him back for trial in 1986. Some other dictator or so suddenly got sick and died under the same circumstances after.
Call me a conspiracist, but we do not let our puppet dictators get executed by their crazed replacements.

During the Great Game, Britain and Russia had taken over large swaths of the Persian Empire. But this gets tiresome and costly, so the UK finally cut a deal with Persia that it would leave what was left of the country intact if it gave it mineral rights, making Britain de facto ruler of Iran, while allowing it to retain some autonomy and save face. BPOil owned Iran's oil - ALL of it. Mossadegh wanted to nationailze it, giving it back to Iran because selling pistachios to the world wasn't as profitable as Britain getting rich over its mineral wealth. The UK opposed, the US sent in the CIA to back a coup. Mossadegh - a really decent man, btw - lived under house arrest till his death 1964.

Shah Mohammed Reza forced women to NOT wear the Chador in public, whether they wanted to or not. THAT, and other forced rapid modern/Westernizations, bred contempt for the Shah, and what MiniAppels said about the torture and executions lead to the revolution.

half of this was nonsense. And just saying, THE INTERNET IS FULL OF F**KING LIES. Trump literally said 52 hours ago that ¨we will make Iran great again¨, and he kept talking about the regime. Iran´s regime is trash right now. Shah was a great leader and gave people freedom. It is NOT pathetic to have an illness and forget about some things. Persia goes back to 6000 years of civilization. I did not say America did not help Iran A LOT, but I said that it was not America that civilized them either. Shah kept going to other countries to learn things and teach Iranians to have greater knowledge and community. Why he forced people to take off chadors was because the went to turkey, saw women working and thought ¨why shouldn´t my people?¨
THE TORTURE AND EXECUTION ARE ABSOLUTE LIES. The Shah tortured as many as any other normal country in the world and did not execute as much

the shah was a totirillan goverment

You know, I grew up thinking Iranians were all above average in intelligence, but then I realized it was just the ones I knew.

You're obviosly an idiot who has no clue about anything.
Persia is 6000 years old? You don't even know the birtdate of your country,

I also think you are an AGHAZADEH if you know what I mean. You talk very much like them.

It was during the Islamic regime that the US shoots down an Iranian airplane in the Iranian border killing 290 civilians and saying that they thought it was a fighter aircraft.
First of all, what kind of dumbass mistakes warcraft with a normal airplane with AMEICAN TECHNOLOGY?
Also, the airplane was in Iran´s border so basically they could fly whatever type of plane they want.
Also, right when the person who shot the plane down comes back to the US, he is given a medal of honor.
That's what I call pathetic.

Lol
