Yeh, I know we set the Sha up as a bullwork against the new punk state, the soviet union....but the folks under the Sha did not seem too unhappy, except in mullah land.....plenty of pix around of Tehran types enjoying themselves, even in bathing suits.....no different than the rest of relaxed Europe....
A friend/room mate in college was from Iran, son of some diplomat type.....
and not long after Sha's leaving, I ran into an Iranian family with a HUGE mansion out in Potomac Md......yard sale....inside the house was this TWO story portrait of the Reza Sha....in his flight suit who was taking fighter plane training our in Ca. ......he was a relative of theirs.....they all easy/pleasant to get along with in both cases, and not anything I noticed about islam at all.....
