roudy you seem to fancy yourself as the new/old shah of iran
a toast to your fantasy in pure halal champagne
He does...but then there are also people out there who think Hitler was just misunderstood and Stalin was the best leader Russia has ever had.
I think part of the problem people have with historical figures is the need for them to be 100% good or 100% evil.
Unfortunately, history is littered with figures who were both good and evil, and who performed acts which were both laudatory and disgraceful. Pinochet, Ataturk, Sadat, Sukarno, even Mussolini were capable of staggering acts of despotism, whilst alo doing some good things.
The Shah is one of those conflcited figures, but that isn't someone everyone can understand.
