U.S./Iran relations have not always been as they are today. We have decades (perhaps centuries) of diplomatic, political and cultural misunderstandings to thank for that. Here's a glimpse of the world before the Islamic Republic and the current turmoil of the 2009 Iranian Election.

  • I hope you will follow this with another video that explore the roots of the problems between the US and Iran. So many in the US have prejudices against Iran and Iranians. AN exploration of these problems might help break some of that down.

  • Definitely look for a followup video coming as soon as possible. I'm hoping to overcome the misunderstandings you mention (on both ends of the globe) by blending the political with the personal.

    There's a lot of history and culture to overcome on both sides - culture, which is both a source of pride and conflict all over the world.

  • USA wants Islam for Iran, North Africa and the Middle East.

    This is a very clear policy, none of the great powers disagree on suppressing the region, causing people to suffer and live backwards lives. This way the resources are controlled by stronger outer interests,

    USA is not for democracy or Freedom in the Region. In practice they want the opposite.

  • Long story short, book explains how President Carter had the Cia kill the Shah and his top men, create khomeini by paying him billions on the one hand while preventing the Shah from even getting plastic bullets or tear gas to oppose khomeini's militias. Basically Carter betrayed a long time US Ally. Islamic Terrorism, Al Quaeda etc were concocted by the USA.

    Why?

    Oil. Neo-Colonialism over human rights, peace and freedom.

  • Iran was a Friend of the USA...What on Earth Happened to change all that? That was the question this video dared to ask at the end. You will not find the true answer to that question because big interests have covered up their tracks and do not want you to know the truth.

    To point you in the right direction, find a copy of this book, called, "The Secrets of the States" by valery giscard estang, the president of France, its rights were purchased by the cia and sales were prevented.

  • Khomeini is the biggest eslamic disaster that was brought to my homeland Iran. Iranians were once respected, now we are trampled upon in the world. Why? Because since 30 years we have the most reactionary repressive government. May god destory elsamic regime and kill all Mollas !
