"would welcome the scion of one dictator to replace another".

Are you really comparing the reign of the late Shah with the rule of the Mullahs in the same breath? Is that how you see the two?

That would be like comparing the Queen of England with Pol Pot of Cambodia!

I think I can encapsulate such comments with "the American Right gets it wrong and the Left doesn't get it at all!"

sci·on (sî'ən) n. A descendant or heir If you bothered to read the post and understood what scion meant and had a little historical knowledge you would know that I was referring to the the Shah and his son, not the Mullahs.

"Scion" again

I looked up the comment #92

Of course I challenged you. You said that the late Shah's son taking over over would be another dictator taking over from his dictator father.

Or that his taking over from the Mullahs would be replacing one dicator with another.

And your equating the "dictatorship" of the late Shah or the potential one of his son with what (not who) is ruling Iran today - is so outrageous that it resembles comparing the Queen of England's rule with that of Pol Pot in Cambodia and his genocide. And trying to b alance themas an equal consideration!

Sadly you haven't a clue about who the late Shah was nor what his son would be NOR what is really going on in Iran.

But - you do have the right to say waht you have said - even if it is off the radar of reality.
