Kennedy was no angel
by Insider (not verified) on Fri Nov 28, 2008 02:38 AM PSTThe Shah and JFK had an intense dislike of one another. After all Kennedy had plans to remove the Shah and replace him with General Teymour Bakhtiar, the brutal head of SAVAK. Bakhtiar was later sent to a dipolmatic exile in Switzerland by the Shah after the Kennedy's plot was discovered. Kennedy and Bakhtair had a common interest in suppressing communist insurgency where and when it reared its head. He had no qualms about putting heartless dictators in charge of the countries with communist or socialist systems. Remember the Bay of Pigs?!

Also, not being a big fan of the house of Windsor, but could not help to remember the sensless murder of the Viceroy of India by IRA in 1979.
