True...and now they are being killed by those who don't want voting to take place.
They are taking a real hit..
I much prefer internal change over tyrannical governments..but name one which was bloodless...
Our swearing in of a new President in the US with bitter losers on one side still goes on without mass uprising and bloodshed after 200 years of changing the President by voting.We allow the dissenters to protest, vent and fume.
Our Bill of Rughts and laws assure us of that. The losers have another chance in 4 years.
The United States President Carter is the reason for the whole miseries happened to my country...
He is American, isn't he?
Agreed. That's his legacy.
True and I am not saying that we shouldn't expect even one drop of blood to finish the job and free Iran. But I hoped we don't see bloodshed there!
He was a pathetic leader but it would seem the Iranian people revolted and installed an Islamic theocracy..I can't even blame Carter for that one.
Well, that's the right attitude, at least.
However, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" ...
He and another A$$ Ho.. named khomeni are the major reasons for every misery happened to Iran.
They are responsible for 9/11.
They are responsible for me living in a dictatorship.
They are both responsible for the hatred toward the US throughout the world.
They are Ba$^ar% ;-)
I already told you what to do, You better Read # 356
A fact, and one which causes many of us a great deal of sorrow. Thanks to all for a pretty spirited discussion that did not deteriorate as they sometimes do. Many eyes are on Iran and I have hope for the Iranian people.
I hope for peace on earth, freedom for all people and that no person is brutalized or oppressed..I hope for liberty and justice for all.. I hope all children get an education and never feels hunger..I hope...but I am also realistic.
The Mullahs will also be gone sooner or later
Sooner if they keep pursuing nukes.
Remember the majority of Iranians wanted Khomeni...It isn't the just the leader..it's the form of government that makes a difference..It should be a government which protects the lives and rights of minority and majority.
Only partly.
You could also blame Eisenhower. He was the President in 1953 during the CIA backed coup that put the Shah in power. The 1979 Islamic Revolution was a response to the regime of the Shah.
Going further back, you could blame the British, who forced the shah Reza Khan to abdicate in 1941 in order to sieze Iran's oil and (ostensibly) keep it safe from the Germans. British control of the oil led Premier Mussadegh to eventually sieze power, causing the U.S. to back the Shah in the 1953 coup.
Or you could blame the Soviets. They were instrumental in putting Reza Khan on the throne in 1921, and instigated the spltting off of Azerbaijan in 1945.
The trail goes back and back. Ultimately, though it always return back to the Iranian people. Coup after coup, they either by action or inaction brought about the current Iranian state. Case in point: it wasn't just clerics who threw out the Shah in 1979.
Khomeini hijacked/stole the form of government.
He was responsible for a lot of misery here in the United States also.
In case you haven't already noticed, I am a free person (unlike some people here with chains in their heads). Therefore, you can't tell me to do anything.
So what are you going to do about it? Unless it's more than you are already doing to free Iran, I don't have anything to worry about. And even then, I'm hardly quaking in my slippers.
He couldn't have done it alone.
