I agree. And note that we did the exact same thing with the Shah of Iran and with Mubarek in Egypt.

It has been a mistake to overthrow secular dictators in these nations because they are the lesser of two evils.

Talk is cheap. We put our tanks in Iraq in garages as Syria was supporting killing our troops. We should have taken out Syria and then concentrated on Iran.

The Shah doesn’t belong in that list
He was pro-west

he gave us oil when the arabs cut us off in 1973
He is a Persian, not an Arab, he was different, and he knew we needed him more than he needed us

and he wwas NOT the tyrant peoiple said, he killed about 3500 while Shah because they were bombing police stations and military barracks, they were not political dissidents, they were soviet trained commies who helped overthrow him and lost their revolution to the Muslims
