pdq: you haven't really said anything. You've parrotted some trash talk against 'leftists' which blatently smears 'em all with the same brush. It's no different than if someone named qdp suggested that all rightists were Lindbergh quoting fifth columnists who marched in common goose step.
Your unattributed quote on 'The Pahlavi' era is a blatent paen of praise for the two shahs and their short lived 'dynasty'. They served at British pleasure and in fact the British told Shah Reza to take a hike in the middle of the war when he showed too much favoritism to German Nationalism (the Nazis). His son didn't assume power without substantial covert aid from England and the US.

Check out the Kinzer book, "All The Shah's Men" as I mentioned in an earlier posting.


Now as for Hakman - Donuel, who wrote:
robomatic you can take your military solutions and go study war for the rest of your life and you will forever miss the point.

This has nothing to do with anything I have written in this thread. If you bothered to read my posts you might come up with something more to the point.
