I love the way, Iranians with traditional and modern style dress co-existed happily side by side as friends, mothers and daughters, sisters, etc

What a nice commercial for British oil companies! The CIA ousted Mosaddegh the rightfully elected popular leader who tossed out the western interests. Then installed a dictator. (The Shah) Talk about spreading democracy. That crazy guy wanted to keep all of the profits for the Iranian people. What a psycho!

9:21 "there has been only one attempt on his life"! now that's a vote of confidence from the people if there ever was one.

The goose step is not an exclusively nazi form of marching.

I think it was invented by the USSR, then lost popularity before being adopted by the nazis if I recall rightly. I think though you missed my point completely, I was loling at the part which its say "... but with such an army he can ignore them", due to the political implications behind it and the western propaganda in it with the Shah being empowered by the US and on top of that just the way he said it

@radroatch

Heh, so I guess I missed the point. :)
