1. it has passed about 35 years of revolution, so we need to put our emotions aside, and think about it logically.
2. every regime even stalin, and nazis had their their own benefits. but the fact is their harm to their countries was more than their benefits. the same thing apply to akhunds.
the reason of Saddam invasion was his madness and stupidity of mullahs that they destroyed army of Pahlavi era, they decreased number of troops from 400,000 to lower than 100,000 and executed lots of generals, the situation of airforce was much worse, I admire IRIAF since what they did to revive airforce in a short time was something close to a miracle. you can ask about my claim easily from each person who has served that time in army. Saddam felt that he can easily capture Iran due to our Weakness unless he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. btw, your theory that west was the main source of saddam's support is also wrong. USSR provided more than 60% of Iraq's equipments alone. In addition, what do you expect when you attack embassy of a country? do you expect them to say thank you?
Although I don't like Shah, but lets be honest and fair. you said that Iran could not produce an Aftabeh?
) I am an educated person and I just understand and care about statistics and numbers. do you know how much petro-chemical production we had? what about Steel production? what about our main industry which is oil? do not be emotional. FYI, our GDP per capita was more than south korea and it was far higher than turkey, what about now?
as long as regime does not correct its irrational behavior, the world won't trust them, and sanctions will be continued. the world cannot trust a regime who kills and rapes and imprison its own citizens and wants to destroy a UN member country. that's the reality. btw, isolation is very different from independence. we did not need to do everything by our own. we could have used other worlds experiences and technologies.
we all know that Mullahs power came from oil money and their militaristic system and their oppressions.
in persian : " azize man mardomi ke baraaye morgh balvaa be paa mikonan va tazaahoraat mikonan
, age regime poul nadaashte baashe, tare ham baraash khourd nemikonan "
I know religious part of Iran's society and their mentality very well. The support of religious people is not related to palestine. although they are heavily influenced by mullah's medias, but what they care about and what they want is islamic laws, not palestine.
