That's my dad, and he sure does know what he is talking about. He is particularly worth listening to because he is one of the few Iranian-Americans that want to help Iran because he cares about the Iranian people, and not because bringing democracy to Iran means reclaiming all that was taken from him during the revolution. Unfortunately, the latter is what tends to motivate most exiles. Such individuals would be wise to take a page out of my father's book.
i dont think the later motivates "most" iranians. Most Iranians didnt loose anything except their freedom and liberty(and ofcourse their lives were ruined)
was a legitimate Shah of Persian Empire, not a dictratorship. And was a proud nation democratic and advanced. Before Us intervention in the '50 Soviet Union wanted to overthorw democracy with a comunist regime. Its not comunist now but they succeded in destroying Ancient Persian Culture that was at Shah Time.
Very Informative. Seems if we could help the Iranian people sort out Iran then Iraq would follow. But it needs to be by and only by their own people from this interview
I have high respect for your family, and bringing the new sports to Iran as well.

The people and the prayers of the world are with Iran to be free! If the Berlin Wall can fall, and the Soviets crumble, so to can tyranny in Iran!
Don't give up the battle, success is closer than you may think.

It's pretty sad to know that Iran had a democracy before Britain and the US replaced it with a dictatorship.
