Who gave the Iranians the Oh-so-lovely Shah? Was that us showing them respect?
We'd do better to leave these guys (and a lot of others) alone.
One minute, they're our big pals. (Shah time in Iran).
Next minute, it's hostages, Oil wars, Mad Mullahs and a big fall-out.
You can only wonder what yer average Persian in the street must think.
Leave.
Them.
Alone!
Shy,
Like all those who are certain about the western hemisphere being the sole home of all the planet's bad guys, you make your points with a good deal of selective care. Are you trying to say that the Ayatollah attempted an accommodation with the U.S. from the outset and got an unexpected brush off after deposing the Shah? I don't flipping well think so.
