Whatever be the case, I find it hard to believe that the Shah's regime was in any sognificant way way worse for ordinary people that mullah rule is now. The reason why Shah was overthrown was that he was seen as a foreign puppet. If you had choice for USA to be ruled by some homegrown neo-Puritans or by the tolerant regime imposed by UN/EU, what would you prefer?

The Shah may have been a dictator, but Khomeini wanted to take Iran back into the Dark Ages.
