Iran's recent history seems to be nothing more than a series of rulers being imposed and deposed by various outside powers (such as Russia, Britain, and the U.S.) and internal revolts. Add in ambitious religous nutballs, and you have a real mess.

Exactly. From what I've read, Mr. Reza Pahlavi's words are in the right place, but that's it. So far, he's All Talk, No Shock (and certainly no Awe).

He and the Iranian "liberators" better do something soon to free their country, or we'll have to solve our own Iran problem, and we'll do it our way to our satisfaction.

I seriously think the feces will hit the turbine in the coming May "elections" in Iran. With any luck, we'll then see the mettle of Mr. Reza Pahlavi, and F14 Pilot, and Khashayar. For their sake, I hope they won't still be just whining here on Free Republic.
