How do I think?
I think Islam is a death-cult more dangerous to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness than Nazism, Communism, and Fascism combined.
I think EVERY HUMAN on the planet is endowed, by our Creator, with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I think that supporting cavemen dictators that rule "with an iron fist" is wrong.
I think that a big part of why we face some of the choices we must make, today, is because too many cowards took the easy route and did not make the right choice.
And I think Veronica Lake was a very beauttiful blonde.

I guess you didn't bother to read what Reza Pahlavi wants -- also, his Father was battling the Islamist extremists way back when.

You must be very pleased with Iran as it is presently constituted.
Jimmy Carter worked hard to remove the tyrant. And we see the fruits of his labor.
The blind application of one principle without consideration of any others will generally lead to that sort of disaster.
As an American I think that the best form of government is a republic where all are equal before the law.
Certain countries, such as Great Britain, Canada, various European countries have kept monarchies for reasons of tradition and local preference. It being their preference I do not begrudge them their choice.
Former royalty that have been useful in the stabilization of their homeland's young democracies. The ex-King of Afghanistan was instrumental in the formation of the Republic of Afghanistan. Ex-Tzar Simeon of Bulgaria was elected prime minister of Bulgaria in 2001, and four years later voted out of office.
The removal of the ayatollahs is the priority. After that, the people of Iran should have the right to choose any form of government they desire. I would prefer it be a republic, with thanks given to the former crown prince for his services to freedom. But if it is freely chosen, it is the Iranian people's choice.

Nothing like broadcasting it to the world, that is, if it is true or not.
