You have no proof of your allegations against the Shah, or SAVAK for that matter. They all come from liberal sources who also attempt to paint the CIA as equally culpable.

You’re also painting all Iranians as radical Twelvers just because of their perceived animus against the Shah among other things. Was that your intent?

"You’re also painting all Iranians as radical Twelvers just because of their perceived animus against the Shah among other things. Was that your intent?"

First you make accusations that I'm defending Mossadegh. When I ask you to show me where I did this, you ignore it and just make more accusations. This next accusation is that I'm painting all Iranians as radical twelvers. Where did I do this???? What I painted the Iranians as is a bunch of people who were oppressed by the Shah's regime and therefore had no love of him when he was overthrown. You make wild accusations against me and then can't back up what you are saying.

Similarly, when I share with you why the Shah was a bastard (my characterication of him) you completely dismiss the mounds of evidence of his totalitarian state. No proof of the allegations against the Shah or SAVAK? Theres mounds of it. There's books of it. Literally!!! My guess is that you never heard of SAVAK before this conversation and are approaching this whole conversation in blissful ignorance. Well, keep drinking the koolaid my friend...
