KHAMENEI DEAD

[hlthe2b]

82. I hope YOU are not using that accusation toward me. NO WHERE NO WAY did I say the Shah was

worse than the Ayatollahs. That would be the worst strawman argument you could make, but likewise shows a desire to ignore that there was horrific brutality under the Shah, while likewise a demonstrable improvement and progression for Iran as a whole--both economically, for education, and as a more secular country. But for those whose bodies were left by SAVAK on the Iranian desert for even incredibly minor "offenses," including teens (something I know about firsthand as the child of one of the many American corporate employees assigned to Iran), all was not the rosy time you and most Americans PREFER to believe.

Do not continue with the insinuation that pointing this out is somehow suggesting support for Islamic theocracy and all the horror it has brought. Polybius, you are better than that. Such a strawman argument is really unforgivable. Perhaps you will state that yours was a global comment, but you did direct it to me.
