Our people are completely ignorant of "fear"....which is 9 layers worse than not killing it.

We stepped in on the behest of Britain because they were outraged with Iran’s decision to nationalize their oil.
That article is disingenuous. While the Shah was trying to westernize Iran, the process actually started when his father had been king, and the son did not respect religious freedoms. In fact, Muslim women were not allowed to wear the hijab in public. There were police officers on most city corners that would yank the scarf of any woman caught wearing it .Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi own wife and daughters were required to be photographed and seen in public without traditional garb.He shut down the traditional markets. This created a serious problem within the country with devout muslims. Entire families of muslims retired to their homes, and for a generation while the Pahlavi’s family was on the throne, the women of this muslim homes never left the house.. I’m talking about a full generation of muslims being raised in doors sheltered from the discrimination of their religion and the progress within thier country. That’s why there was such a blow-back when we turned our back on Pahlavi. Those families in hiding saw their chance. Now they are baby-boomers.
Iranian kids today have been raised under the tyranny of a muslim-rule, so the pendulum swings back.
