I also believe that although western journalist are trying to portrait Shah as a puppet (just similar to what our regime says to stay on power) Shah was not a puppet, He had serious difficulties with US. Documents from US embassy published in one Iranian newspaper in series was clearly showing the deep difference between US and Iran. Now we are trying to understand our own history without being influenced by our government propaganda or even western journalists who probably had a superficial understanding of what our parents experienced.

Why should I trust your version of account? which has been used over and over to suppress freedom and justice in my country.

The justice system in Iran is a mockery of justice. Shall we stay like this because of all the things you say. Isn’t it another sort of propaganda to keep us in fear? ….In the world of politics we have lost trust but we can’t sit there and see our next generation facing these rulers…we are going slowly and peacefully! We have a mixed feeling about US, it is up to American policy makers to make it positive or negative!

You must be politically very naive to think that CIA and Mossad are not active in Iran.

Have heard of The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in America?

Research it in Google but do not be fooled by the word democracy.

“The idea behind NED was to create an organization to do overtly what the CIA had long been doing clandestinely, and the organization has developed its own history of foreign interference. “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” acknowledged Allen Weinstein, one of NED’s founders”.

Bush ordered covert operation to divide and destabilize Iran and authorized $400 million dollar to finance a regime change.

Many of the students and ‘civil society’ NGO’s in the demonstrations received
funding from overseas foundations and NGO’s – which in turn were funded by the US government.

The US Congress voted $120 million for anti-regime media broadcasts into Iran, and $60-75 million funding opposition parties, violent underground Marxists like the Mujahidin-i-Khalq, and restive ethnic groups like Azeris, Kurds, and Arabs under the so-called `Iran Democracy Program.

In February, 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice requested emergency funding from Congress to the amount of $75 million, on top of a previously allocated $10 million, “to mount the biggest ever propaganda campaign against the Tehran government”,

In the words of The Guardian. The money “would be used to broadcast US radio and television programmes into Iran, help pay for Iranians to study in America and support pro-democracy groups inside the country.”

The propaganda effort would include “extending the government-run Voice of America’s Farsi service from a few hours a day to round-the-clock coverage.”

In announcing the request, Rice said the U.S. “will work to support the aspirations of the Iranian people for freedom and democracy in their country.”

According to an ABC News investigation, President George Bush signed a `finding’ that authorized an accelerated campaign of subversion against the Islamic Republic.

Washington’s goal was `regime change’ in Tehran and installation of a pro-US
puppet government.
