"The Iranian Revolution ended up killing more of their own people in the FIRST year it controlled Iran than the Shah killed during his ENTIRE reign. "

Thanks, bb! Keep the Truth out there in case someone is listening.

The Shah took charge in 1941, suceeding his father who took power in 1925. The Islamic revolutionaries that drove him out in 1979 killed people in 1 year than the Shah did in 38 years.

The Shah was the first leader of any Moslem country to recognize the State of Israel.

That is why he was targeted assasination, not because he was a bad person.

Many Jews lived in Iran during both members of the Pahlavi Monarchy and some call it the "Golden Era of Jadaism in Iran".
