Interesting, history is written by the victor and OFTEN bears little resemblance to the TRUTH.Ok, so you are telling us that the Shah did not oppress the Kurds.
Interesting....I mean given that I have a dozen history books and statements from both Kurdish and Iranian historians saying the exact opposite.
Can you explain why many Kurds backed the revolution, given they were not being oppressed by the Shah?
Far to many people in this country believe the Civil War was about slavery because of POST war historical accounts too.
NOTHING could be further from the truth!
If some ethnic group in this country tried to form an independent nation inside the borders of the USA...you can bet your butt America would suppress the HELL out of them!
And rightfully so!
Was the Shah a great guy or great leader? May not have been a real nice guy and was DEFINITELY not a great leader, but given the region he was in...he WAS a step up from the norm. And he was an Iranian patriot...ABSOLUTELY!!!
