Provided they didn't end up dead. The Shah murdered over 100,000 of his own people. With the help of the CIA who put him on the Peacock Throne and kept him there.
The USA earned the hatred of the Iranian people, through their political interference. "Better dead than red", wasn't just a bumper sticker. It was how the CIA functioned.
Time to let go of the past. The cold war is over. We were in the past supportive of regeimes to counter the Soviet empire. Wrongs then do not excuse what the Iranian Mullas are.. they did not become anything nicer and fairer than what the Shah might have been.
