Mr. Kadivar do you have a clip of The Shah................
by Anonymous Iranian 2 (not verified) on Mon Nov 24, 2008 04:32 PM PSTMr. Kadivar, Shah or Pahlavi worshipers time has passed long time ago.This is another one of Iranians' habits, we are dead worshipers. When people are alive we do not value them ,but when they are gone it is like the person who passed was our brother . Monarchy type of government in Iran is a thing of the past if that is what you like to see.Also IRI has lasted for over 30 years and is going to be with us for many more years.
oh yes
by amirkabear4u on Mon Nov 24, 2008 08:55 AM PSTIt is very delightful.
And you are very correct for writing,"unknown Farah Diba". I promise you even now not only you but also millions of other people still do not know who she trully and really was.
