And by "America", I obviously mean American policies, not so much the people of America. I mean, that would sound barbaric. Amirite, guys?

Hey Ayatollah

 

[NCCommish]

Someone comes here. They engineer a coup and put a brutal dictator in charge. They create one of the most brutal secret police organizations in the world. That group goes on to torture and murder thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of our citizens. They keep this murderous doosh in power for decades. What are you saying about them?

its a little weird to defend the Ayatollah and the mullahs. if you don't like brutal dictators you're not exactly defending an innocent bunch.

Not defending the Ayatollah. The Iranian people have been given real good reasons to hate us by us. The leadership uses that to their political advantage. We have a generation still living with survivors of torture, still mourning their dead, and still wondering what happened to the disappeared. And we act surprised when they don't like us.

Sounds like someone has never been on a real good jihad before.

Who's acting surprised? Anyone who's paying half attention has known this since the 70s.

Well, actually, as the article states, they don't dislike us. They dislike our policies. "Death to America(n policies)!" is what they are saying.

All of this is true. It's also true that, during the years of the Shah's reign, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars in Iran trying to help the government fight illiteracy, child hunger, disease, poverty, mistreatment of women. We poured millions into their infrastructure and helped cities like Tehran and Tabriz become modernized, benefiting the entire population. Does any of this make up for the bad stuff that was done as a result of our political intrigues? Maybe not. But I get a little tired of the constant refrain by progressives in this country about how terrible and evil we've been. It's simplistic and inaccurate.

 

[timschochet]

And if one studies the actual writings and speeches of the Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the revolution, the issues that NC Commish mentioned have absolutely nothing to do with his hatred of America. Rather, he hated the Shah being influenced by western culture to introduce the modernization of Iranian society, most importantly rights for women and the removal of the Mullahs (priests) from civic authority in the towns and villages. He feared that Iran would become a secular society and for that he blamed America.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Great. I was hoping this humorous post could be turned into a political debate.

Like Trump he didn't like to go off message.

Yes he did, but that of course involved the murder of perhaps 20 million people. We managed to help modernize Iran without paying such a price. But I know you knew that.

I setup and funded the group that raped and tortured your mom but I fed some folks so we're cool right?

I view it as a good thing that he's going for a softer, gentler "Death to America".

I still haven't detected the humorous part but if that was your intent I'll back out.

No way we could have seen that coming.

they are focus grouping, "We Hope America Breaks Its Leg", but the initial feedback is lukewarm at best.

Over/under on the number of murders you find acceptable during a nation's modernization process?

About ten thousand give or take.
