The Iranian people are good people. Its decades over due to burn the rat muhlas out of their nest and let the Irainian people restore the post 1979 government. It's long over due.
I think they prefer to be called the Persian people - unless they are Muslim. The Persians were good people, they were as modern as the US in the 70s (until the revolution), and I think if they keep protesting they could win this thing. They would probably need security help for a while, but they could make Iran into a functional country that gets along with their neighbors and won't support terrorism.
Incidentally, a peaceful Persian Iran would lead to Lebanon becoming what they once were. My pediatrician when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s was from Lebanon. He fled with his family when things started getting bad there. He was a good man and he would listen to his patients - and treat them how they wanted to be treated.
Example - I was 10 and had a really bad, infected ingrown toenail that had to have the root cut out. I told him I wanted to watch. At first he tried to warn me, but I was serious - and he let me watch. My mom left and went to the waiting room. From the numbing shot, to the peeling back part of the nail, to cutting the mail from top to bottom, to pulling the cut part that was attached to the nail root out - and all the blood that came with it - I watched every part. I was fascinated. Then the nurse fainted when a little bit of blood squirted once the root popped out. She fell straight down. Both the doctor and I started laughing - which caused him to laugh even more, and he called the front desk person to come get the nurse up and in a chair while he finished my toe. My mom came back in when she heard the thump, heard us laughing, and heard the doctor call for the guy in the front. The doctor told her I did great, the nurse fainted, and told her to buy me some beer - I deserved it.
That doctor was great. These days no doctor would let a child watch something like that, and that might be part of why there are so many "less-than-manly-men" now.
Especially since we were responsible for installing them in 1979.
More people need to look up pictures of Iran in the 1960s and 1970s.
You’d be forgiven for thinking they show pictures of the US in the 1960s and 70s. And that should send a chill down everyone’s spine how quickly things can change.
Exactly, and they had some hotties too. Not what you expect, knowing how they are all covered up and hidden these days. Some of the pics I saw reminded me of the girls from a lot of the beach movies popular in the states back then. It's sad what happened to them because of us - or realistically because of the CIA.
If we end up attacking I want us to finish it and give the country back to the Persians. I''d love for them to have a chance to get back to what they used to be.
Mohammad Mossadegh was the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953, known for his efforts to nationalize the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a symbol of foreign exploitation. In 1953, Mossadegh was overthrown in a coup orchestrated by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British intelligence (MI6), known as Operation TPAJAX. The coup, led to the reinstatement of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the suppression of Iran’s democratic institutions.
Then the Shah went all pro Iranian so the Deep State did it again.
