Nation of Iran Celebrates 33 years of Independence and Self-Determination

[Scootaloo]

36. Maybe a nod in the direction of the fact that the Shah was even fucking worse?

Or that the revolution against him was largely spearheaded and manned by Iranian leftists, and wasn't fully overtaken by the Theocrats until the start of the war with Iraq. You know, the war that the US instigated, funded, supplied, and provided intelligence for? After all, it's a celebration of said revolution, not a celebration of the current Ayatollah's bathroom fatwas. You don't have to approve of the current regime to acknowledge the effort and goals of the revolution, after all.

As for disapproval of a war - I'll tell you what I told Oberliner in a previous thread; show me that you disapprove of a war with Iran, and I will believe you. Right now, you are defending a thread full of brainless reactionary propaganda of the sort we hear from Freerepublic (itself a retread of inane anti-Iran bumper stickers from 1980) in support of blowing up lots of Iranians.
