Who Let The Dogs Out?

1. Actually, it was the Democrat Jimmy Carter.
It was almost as though the Democrats had a big meeting, decided that they hadn't done nearly enough damage to the world by supporting the homicidal psychopath Joseph Stalin......
....and said 'now.....how can we institute even more world conflagration?'


And Jimmy 'I will never lie to you' Carter said...'Hey....let's dump the moderate Shah, and put in power an insane Islamofascist!!!'

And, if that conversation had happened, Hussein Obama picked up on it and guaranteed nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism.
Those wacky Democrats, huh?



2. Today is the anniversary of the death of the Shah, 'cause Carter needed him out of the way.
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, (born October 26, 1919, Tehrān, Iran—died July 27, 1980, Cairo, Egypt), shah of Iran from 1941 to 1979, who maintained a pro-Western foreign policy and fostered economic development in Iran.

3. Due to the American pressure, the Shah launched a series of reforms, known as the White Revolution, in 1963. This included many American ideas for modernization, such as a) land reform, b) modernization of infrastructure including railroads, c) education, d) enfranchising women, e) urbanization, f) encouragement of a class of technocrats and competent bureaucrats, etc. tried (unsuccessfully) to enable Iran’s religious minorities—principally Baha’is, Jews, and Christians—to take the oath of office on a holy book of their own choosing.


Not good for the Left's desires for world domination!!!


4.The 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran has been compared in importance to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. “The central problems of world affairs today spring from the Iranian Revolution much as those of the 20th century sprang from the Russian Revolution.” A Monarch Dethroned



5. "When the Iranian revolution came to power, with the help of Democratic President Jimmy Carter, the Ayatollah Khomeini killed more human beings (about twenty thousand) in two weeks than had been killed by the Shah during his entire thirty-eight years. Khomeini followed this by sending hundreds of thousands of Iranians to die in the Iran-Iraq war, as martyrdom was needed to resurrect the Islamic Empire."
Paul Berman, “Terror and Liberalism,” p. 108

And it has been ever so.

 

[Mac-7]

Jimmy carter is a damn fool

but is was not evil and had no idea of the harm he was doing

 

[TheParser]

His Majesty the Shah was a good man.

That he was overthrown by foolish mobs is a tragedy for the Iranian people. Some of those who helped overthrow the Shah eventually became themselves victims of the religious fanatics who took over Iran.

It is disgusting how the United States turned its back on His Majesty when he most needed refuge.

Ahh, the rewriting of history.

Here's the reality. We overthrew a Democratically elected government in 1953 at the behest of British Petroleum and put the Shah in power. His secret Police terrorized the Iranian people and worst than that, very little of the oil wealth of Iran was being seen by his people.

Jimmy Carter had the good sense to realize Americans weren't going to send their sons off to die for this corrupt tyrant.

The reason why we got stuck with the Crazy Mullahs is because the Shah executed every sensible, western educated populist who might have guided the country to Democracy.

3. Due to the American pressure, the Shah launched a series of reforms, known as the White Revolution, in 1963. This included many American ideas for modernization, such as a) land reform, b) modernization of infrastructure including railroads, c) education, d) enfranchising women, e) urbanization, f) encouragement of a class of technocrats and competent bureaucrats, etc. tried (unsuccessfully) to enable Iran’s religious minorities—principally Baha’is, Jews, and Christians—to take the oath of office on a holy book of their own choosing.

He was also notoriously corrupt, built palaces for his family while the Iranian people starved.


Stephanie Cronin of Oriental Institute, Oxford, describes corruption under rule of Reza Shah as "large-scale".[20] As oil prices rose in 1973, scale of corruption also rose, particularly among royal family, their partners and friends. According to Manouchehr Ganji who created a study group for Farah Pahlavi, Mohammad Reza Shah was not sensitive to the issue, but addressed every now and then petty matters of low-ranking officials. As Ganji writes, the group submitted at least 30 solid reports within 13 years on corruption of high-ranking officials and the royal circle, but Shah called the reports "false rumors and fabrications". Parviz Sabeti, a high-ranking official of SAVAK believed that the one important reason for success of regime's opposition is corruption.[21]

According to report of a journal associated with The Pentagon, "By 1977 the sheer scale of corruption had reached a boiling point.... Even conservative estimates indicate that such [bureaucratic] corruption involved at least a billion dollars between 1973 and 1976."[22]


Built up by forced sales and confiscations of estates, Reza Shah was "the richest man in Iran" and "left to his heir a bank account of some 3 million pounds and estates totalling over 3 million acres.[25] A 1932 report of British Embassy in Tehran indicates that Reza Shah developed an "unholy interest in land" and jailed families until they agreed to sell their properties.[26]

In the 1950s, Mohammad Reza Shah founded Pahlavi Foundation (now Alavi Foundation) which "penetrated almost every corner of the nation's economy".[27] Bostock and Jones unambiguously declared that Pahlavi Foundation a "nominally charitable foundation fostered official corruption". According to Houchang Chehabi and Juan Linz, Alavi foundation's $1.05 billion assets, $81 million capital and its declared devined $4.2 million was the "tip of the iceberg of official and dynastical corruption, outside and inside Iran".[28] The foundation, which was one of his main wealth sources alongside estates left from Reza Shah and Iran's oil revenue, was a tax haven for his holdings.[27]

Many members of the Pahlavi clan were among the chief perpetrators of corruption in Iran.[29] Royal court was described as "center of licentiousness and depravity, of corruption and influence peddling" in a mid-1970s CIA report.[28] Prime Minister Amir Abbas Hoveyda who served from 1965 to 1977 had no choice but to facilitate or condone "the ubiquitous corruption of the Pahlavi Clan" and ignore "the corruption that saturated the regime".[30]

In 1960, there were rumours that Princess Ashraf, Shah's twin sister was arrested in Geneva carrying a suitcase containing $2 million worth of heroin. She was regarded as Iran's main drug dealer until 1979.[31] A 1976 CIA report declared that she has a "near legendary reputation for financial corruption" and his son Shahram controls some-twenty companies that serve as "cover for Ashraf's quasi-legal business ventures".[28] Prince Hamid Reza, the Shah's half-brother, was ostracized from the royal family because of his widespread scandals of promiscuity, addiction and involvement in drug trade.[32]


This is what people were rebelling against.

We should have turned the son of a bitch over as a war criminal that he was.

We can quibble about how good, but a darn sight better than the Ayatollah or Jimmy Carter.

'religious fanatics' is certainly correct.



I bet you know about the Imam hiding in the well, who is gonna lead them.



"Iran: Their foreign policy is aimed at world domination under the leadership of the 12th Imam.

The Hidden Imam, as he is also known by his followers, will only return after a period of cosmic chaos, war and bloodshed – what Christians call the Apocalypse –


“ The hidden Imam who is expected to return....
....beware of doubting, for to doubt the order of God, the Mighty, the Sublime, is apostasy (Kufr). Ibn Khaldun also states that “ When imprisoned with his mother in the house, he entered a sort of well or pit in the house that his family occupies at Samarrah, Iraq, and there he disappeared, but he is to come forth at the end of the age to fill the earth with justice”.
The Twelfth Imam, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan (Al-Mahdi-Sahibuz Zaman) (The hidden Imam who is expected to return)

Carter did not have any say in whether the Shah stayed or not. The US had propped him up for decades and the revolution was not going to be stopped.

However, it was Carter allowing the Shah to come to the US for medical treatment that led to the hostages being taken and cost him a second term

 

[Sunni Man]

The Shah was a brutal dictator that oversaw a police state which murdered and tortured thousands of Iranian citizens.
The Iranian people finally rose up nation wide by the hundreds of thousands and drove the criminal Shah to flee the country. ...

In comparison to the Muslim fundamentalists who took over, thanks to Democrat Carter, the man was a relative saint.

Khomeini followed this by sending hundreds of thousands of Iranians to die in the Iran-Iraq war, as martyrdom was needed to resurrect the Islamic Empire."
Paul Berman, “Terror and Liberalism,” p. 108
Again, irrigating the earth with human blood.

a. Outlined by Dr. Hans-Peter Raddatz, Orientalist, and frequent critic of Islam, this blood-lust was the explanation of Iran’s demand for a truce, when it was learned that Iraq planned to kill the waves of Iranians with Tabun and Sarin nerve gas, which would not cause blood to flow. Glazov, “United in Hate,” p. 107-108.

b. "Shortly after assuming power, Khomeini began calling for Islamic revolutions across the Muslim world, including Iran's Arab neighbor Iraq, the one large state besides Iran with a Shia majority population."



“We should by now have become used to the death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world. This is the cult of people who are proud to declare, "You love life, but we love death." This is the cult that sent waves of defenseless children to be mowed down on the battlefields of the Iran-Iraq war, that trains kindergartners to become bombs, that fetishizes death, that sends people off joyfully to commit mass murder. Because the death cult is not really about the cause it purports to serve. It's about the sheer pleasure of killing and dying.”

Putting the maniacs in charge of Iran was the Democrat's assurance that it would never join or advance Western Civilization.

To know what the Left is guilty of, just watch what they blame the other side of doing.

2a. If not for double standards Liberals would have no standards at all.

 

[Sunni Man]

The Iranian people hated the Shah and rose up to drive him out of power and out of the country.
The Iranian people, for good or bad, chose to install Ayatollah Khomeini as their leader.
It's their country, their decision, their choice. Who are we to second guess the Iranian people and continually demand regime change? ...

[Sunni Man]

To be replaced by Saturday afternoon beheadings after Khomeni took over.

It's their country and their justice system.
If the Iranian people don't like their current leadership, they can always rise up like they did with the Shah and put someone else into power. ...
