    Defending themselves from countries like USA is not a thing that 'affect them'? If nuclear weapons are so bad, why most rich countries have them in the first place? Come on, dictadorship is bad. But being invaded by another country is way worst.

    The Shah, for all the domestic failings he may or may not have had, oversaw a prosperous, pluralistic nation which was a good international neighbor and not consumed by hatred for scapegoats. Iran did not participate in either the War of Israeli Independence, Sinai War, Six Day War, or the Yom Kippur War.

    The Ayatollah appealed to the basest instincts and transformed a nation with a rich history into a one dimensional den of hatred and troublemaking.

    Before and after, the majority were muslim, but the "after" brand is unrecognizable compared to the "before."
