I wouldn't bet on that. Depends on how radicalized they are.

Going back to my college years and on I have met a number of Iranians living here. All secular. Not one had anything positive to say about the Shah or CIA. Their reputation is ten times worse in Iran.

I have heard that most Iranians are secular: many times. But I'm confused.

The Nazis and the American Communists were very successful in brainwashing a generation.

Why did the mullahs fail? The whole nation of Iran should be rabid dogs after 46 years of their rule.

It's not so much that the Mullahs want to die.

But if their death would usher in the Apocalypse, they'd be all in.

That's actually their goal.

Post your opinions, its a free country, but don't drag me into your fairytales. My world view is based on knowledge and experience, not on hollow narratives of partisan politics of this country.

So now it's the CIA who overthrew the Shah of Iran.

So now it's the CIA who overthrew the Shah of Iran. Then they held themselves hostage at the American Embassy demanding his return from the U.S. to stand trial.

Beam me up Scotty.

So this guy says the Ayatollah Khomeini was installed in 1979 in part by the CIA? As much as I hate the CIA I find that hard to believe.

The Shah was so in our pocket that we were in the middle of selling him our most advanced fighter jets right when he was deposed (F14s).

And the Ayatollah was so *not* our friend that the technicians who were delivering the F14s sabotage them on their way back out of the country. Right on top of him taking -400 Americans hostage, and us launching a military invasion if Iran to recover them.

The CIA loves to fuck up a foreign country, but 1970s Iran was as bought and paid for as you can get, what motive would they have to overthrow the government they had basically hand built themselves ?

And they certainly didn't install the Ayatollah. We (CIA included) *liked* the Shah.

We hated the Ayatollah so much that we funded Saddam Heussein to fight him all through the 80s.

Ho Lee Fuck Mr McSoviet Union how old are you? 12?
That's certainly what you act like.

I get that I hurt your feelings, but really, move on.
As a grown adult would.

WTF is "grown adult"? Especially when it is coming from a guy in poorly fitted monkey costume.
I dropped this pissing contest long time ago, but your admirers here keep bringing it back.
