An Alternative View of Iran

An Alternative View of Iran Once I was in Iran the Shah ruled and his informers were everywhere. Then came the revolution, much blood, some of it innocent, into the streets. USA had kept the Shah in power and crushed democratic opposition when Mossadegh tried to tame the international oil industry, he was dumped and the dreadful Shah family returned to power. As a result of this radical Mullahs took power and we have to live with our mistake. Yet Iran is more democratic than Israel, they tolerate the Jewish community there and let them live in peace. Iran today lives under the shadow the threat of Israel´s nuclear menace, Israel will never accept any powers those are as equal to hers. It is odd, is it not the sitting Israel government is using the language of Nazi Germany before it invaded Poland. I t strikes me that unless we tame Israel and her excesses she will, deluded as she is, destroy the world as we know it. Yet stupid as we are we will be on the wrong side of this massacre.
