some friends started to talk about shah times and how much it was bad and how much we are advanced now, I'm not in mood to talk about it , because it's kind of Worthless.
every regime and government has some strength and weakness points. but the result of comparing two regimes shows us the dictatorship of shah was much better than now with all problems and weakness it had.
First of all, that's true safavie saved iran, but qajar destroyed it and it was reza shah who again saved iran. please read story of end of qajar and what reza khan did.
at the end of qajar how was iran? no sign of modernity, no facilities.
they changed whole the iran, shape of all cities, rail roads,other roads, fill ditchs around cities, making modern structure for army and all other things. there was no way between north of iran with other parts. he made a road that today is people still using it and current regime still cant build a new way, Tehran-shomal highway.should i explain more about that?
they built Air ports and were producing Air planes. all our airports and facilities of Aviation Industry WERE BUILT that time. and today we are just using them, car industry and others. the base of everything belongs that time, our oil industry was more capable than now, they built some big ports in coast lines,
how many big and modern project current regime done? they built milad tower in capital of iran during 13 years and called national celeberat for it.
have they built a new cinema?? how many?
have they built a new Sport Complex like azadi in tehran?
a new Amusement Park?
a new zoo?
a new Airport?
all they did was completing or building only a part of the old projects of shah after many years.
some says, there was poverty, of course there was poverty, what did you expect? during a night whole the iran gonna be like Germany in 2013? Abii is right, whole the asia except japan liked us and known us as a advanced country in Asia and other part of the world except west of Europe and north america.
we are in a international forum, you can ask asians,indians,turks and... what they think about our past.
shah was dictator with many weakness, today we have a dictatorship worst than before.
both regimes did something good but we should compare the rate of progress in both times. that's the point.
There is also poverty today and it's more than before. I'm surprised how some people are trying to compare situation of iran with west and say it's better!
even today all candidates are talking about economy problems and say our situation is a disaster in our history, they say we need years to fix it and back to 1384.
If you want to be tough, and claim resistance, don't be mad if you are being sanctioned. I can understand abii. This regime is tolerated by the people, so no pity if they are suffering at the hand of them. As it says: people deserve their leaders. Don't agree with it? Raise your voice. Iranians have been paralyzed.
dear surena, It's easy to say, but you should be in iran to understand it.
first we have a regime that has no credit in the world and doesn't care about it. they kill protesters too easy. did you forgot about sattar beheshti who was only a blogger with only 25 visitors evey day? did you forgot about what they did in 2009? how they killed and tortured people?
second, our people are disappointed. our people are fighting for freedom and democracy over 150 years!
our people are not like people in 1357 and they are not Idealist, they dont like sacrifice their lifes for a ideology, they are fighting to live, to have a comfy,calm and happy life.
no wonder you are so eager to defend him, sheikh khazal was another U.K poppet, and fatwas of our mullahs weakened him, the fact is that after these fatwas people started to disobey him and that's why U.K plan failed in khuzestan. it was people of khuzestan who vanished him by disobeying him.
