Re: Give me liberty or...
That's neither here nor there. The point, which you appear to have missed, is that the Shah's approach caused a lot of resentment. To put it in nice simple terms for you, it was a case of a lot of people seeing him as a tyrant and a toady. Rejection of him meant rejection of America, and there are still plenty of people there who fell like that, especially those whose families suffered under the Shah. Suggesting that the Shah wasn't as bad as his successors is utterly disingenuous, especially when you remember that America's attitude towards Iran hasn't changed one iota since 1979.
