Jamshid: It is obvious that

Jamshid: It is obvious that I don't have access to anyone's bank account. Common sense from what I have seen is what drives my view point. So ok I;ll give you thihs much the pahlavis didn't steal a cent and didn't use iran to advance their personal wealth.not one little bit even. boos boos boos smack in the middle

Kaveh Nourani: yes i am a woman. I am hot and I am married and I have kids and a great life. The revolution was good for people like me. AGAIN you moron the story is political because of the person being interviewed.

RE: anonymous34343434....

-Ali Baghi does not have my answer. Read my post.

-Remember that when you accuse someone of being a kiss-ass, simply because he has a different view than yours, then you have kissed your reputation goodbye. This statement excludes pro-IRI people, as we are entitled to calling them anything that pleases us.

-As far as your statement "some ahmaghs still think Pahlavi is relevant and not a theif" I could easily reverse it and say "some ahmagh still thinks pahalvi is not relevant and that he is a thief". But that won't help. I said in my previous post, and you should read it again, you must first prove that Pahalvi was thief, you can't simply accuse. AND I GET PISSED OFF AT THESE BASELESS ACCUSATIONS, BECAUSE I WAS FOOLED BY IT ONCE IN 1978, AND IT CAUSED NOT JUST ME BUT MANY OTHERS TO JOIN THE REVOLUTION AND FOOLISHLY DESTROY IRAN, ALL BECAUSE WE BELIEVED PEOPLE LIKE YOU. But when we ask those people "why you lied to us?" Their shameless reply is "why did you believe us?"

Your type did more disservice to Iran than the Shah could possibly ever do. In 1978, you, and if not you, your likes, screwed Iran by changing the regime, then after you smelt the stench that you have caused, half of you packed up and left for a "better" place outside of Iran, sending those remaining in Iran to hell.

So... vaseye ma baraye Iran enghadr sineh chak nakon.

Re: Ali Baghi... No proof yet...

Yes, I did say one piece of Reza's hair is more of a scholar, patriot, intellectual, etc than any of the ruling mullahs. BUT that does not mean he is better than everyone else. I just said he is better than the mullahs. And I stand by this statement.

Now is this an indication of being a kiss-ass? Maybe in your brainwashed and Pahlavi blind-hating mind, but not in a clear and neutral mind. You hate Pahlavi to the border line of oghdeh and therefore, in your mind, saying the slightest positive statement about Pahalvis is automatically being a kiss-ass. Not so in the real world.

As far as your second question, i.e., how do I know that the other responder is less of a politician than Reza, you can find the answer in what he wrote. Whoever is capable of writing such none-sense is politically disadvantaged.

I am yet to read a sound proof that I am a kiss-ass. So far you have only proven that you are an offending and accusing labeler.

I hope that answers your hateful and angry "huh?" and "hah?"

34343434343434343434

You are a khanoum? With that mouth?

The story was about football/soccer and not about pre 1979 and post 1979.

With that attitude,  you come across as one of those miserable women who can't hold on to a man. What a shame, too. Class means shit to you as you say because you mean shit to yourself, and therefore, are shit to others. That's truly sad.

Jamshid: Ali Baghi has your

Jamshid: Ali Baghi has your answer read his post. Remember, when you are kissing ass, not the left cheek not the right cheek...SMACK IN THE MIDDLE.

Andre: I am a khanum not an agha. Class? That is an outdated concept used by middle/working class people all over the world and means shit to me. If you are referring to my attitude, yes, I am pissed off and i show it. With all that is going on in Iran, some ahmaghs still think Pahlavi is relevant and not a theif. I rest my case. If you can't see it, I have no energy to open your eyes, besides you are entitled to your misinformed opinions.

Oghdeis suck: I have a job. My nane isn't jende. You asked why this article becomes political. This shows your OLAGHNESS because the guy's dad was the dictator of a country in ruins. That's why it's political. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, your ignorance must be your bliss.

Javid Shah: Your exit point is blocked by Oghedi's suck's nose. Take it up with him. Anyone who still says Javid Shah is the puss of the earth.

My anger toward the dictatorship of this MF is not an indication of my support of IRI. In fact, I blame the ghajar's and pahlavis for the current situation in iran. Sure, international meddling bla bla was responsible. But again, these idiots were MASALAN ruling the country. All you Shah ass kissers are in the dark ages.

Jamshid: Here's the proof

------------------

One piece of Reza Pahlavi's hair is more of a leader, more of a scholar, more of a human, more of a patriot, more of a politician, more of an intellectual than any of the "do zaari" mullahs ruling in Iran, or "nim sanaar" mullahs like your imbecile self.
Jamshid
------------------

That seems like clear indication of "kiss ass" to me.

By the way, mr loudmouth: Where is your proof for that statement about "any" mullh and the person who you were responding to? How do you know he's less of a politician? Where's the proof? huh? hah?

To: anonymous342232342423

Where is your proof that I am a pro-monarchist and an ass-kisser at that? Defending the shah against the lies that are made about him, neither makes me a monarchist, nor an ass kisser.

Again, where is your proof? Don't change the subject if you want to reply. I am not interested in your reply unless you are specifically answering my question: Where is your proof that I am an ass-kisser monarchist?

To: Foad

Foad,

If Reza didn't have the interest of Iran in heart, he would just leave politics all together and enjoy his life.

Where is your proof that these guys are thieves? Where is your proof that he is prostituting himself to anyone who may help him come back to power? Show it or shut up. Getting help is not the same than prostituting. Marhoom Bakhtiar got a lot of money from Saddam, he even admitted it, but he was no prostitute.

If he comes to power, "their bottomless pockets may get filled with Iran wealth and treasures" as you said, but so will the pockets of the Iranian people. I don't mind someone's pocket, be it Reza's, yours or anyone else's, get filled "with Iranian treasures", as long as the Iranians pockets are getting filled too.

You claim the Pahlavis are thieves. I disagree. I know that the shah lived more than well when he was king. He even lived in a palace. So does president Bush. Excluding baseless rumors, show me evidence that the Shah stole from people. Had he taken the crown jewels with him then I would be the first to call him a thief. Had his son possessed billions of dollar, then I would be the first to call them thieves. But just because the Royal family has enough to live a comfortable life that does not make them or the Shah a thief.

Your baseless accusations are too old and way too tired, and have no buyers anymore. Foad, we are not in 1978 anymore, This is 2007. You are still trying to circulate the same rumor-based crap that was fed to the people in order to deceive them and turn them against the Shah. That worked in 1978, but it does not work anymore.

What ticks me off more than anything else, is that it were these same type of lies that deceived the population and helped brought the mullahs to power. If these type of lies were not spread during the revolution, half of the population wouldn't bother come to the streets. How dare you use the same crap now after 30 years? Or perhaps you are still under their influence after so many years.

Either way, your lies and spread of baseless rumors worked once, but not anymore.

Aghaye Ananymous34234234...

You are a no body!!
Why should anyone interview a person who absolutely has no manners or class in this case?
Send an email to Hustler magazine, then "MAYBE" and only maybe they would publish an interview by you under "garbage" section!
You can go and hide in a corner now:)

Javid Shah

All the anti-Shah two-legged animals can lick my exit point.

Anony...3024...

Olagh oon nanayeh jendateh! Get a job and maybe, just maybe, you will not be as OGHDEI! LOSER.

Oghdeis suck: olagh: it

Oghdeis suck:
olagh: it turns political because they guy's dad was the shah!!!!!!

oghdeis such as myself are mad and have oghde for freedom and democracy in iran and we are sick of mullahs and blame a lot on the good for nothing dozd shah.

Authour: are you telling me there was no one better to interview for soccer? or was there nothing more substantial to talk about with his royal highness? Sure pahlavi and soccer is great eye candy. But you get an interview with the guy and he makes all these comments and you pussy have nothing more to say to him??????????

- If Mr. Pahlavi's

- If Mr. Pahlavi's background isn't important for this article, come an interview me! I am just as fascinating, and I am hot and I have boobs. Don't kid yourself anyone, his royal highness was interviewed because he is the prince of persia.
- My next point: if he is being interviewed because of his background, let's examine this back ground.
- Have we forgotten that if shah was great for our country, we would still be living there and there would be no IRI??? Did you see how Saddam stood behind and died for his beliefs, what the f did this guy's family do.
- they plUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDERED our wealth just like mullahs are doing.
- come interview me about soccer.
- jamshid, khak tu saret man ta hal hamash supportet mikardam you good for nothing monarchist ass kisser. get together with haji agha and give eveyrone a break. javid shah, mamlekato gaeed shah

Amen!

Well said. It seems like we were reading a different article all together. Foad truly turned this forum around by his off the wall comments. Mr. "know it all" just destroyed a good read. Get a life buddy!

To all the haters...

Why turn an interview regarding soccer into a Viagra-induced hard on against the Pahlavi's? Get a life you LOSERS!

Thank You....

I appreciate your responses (good or bad, I had my say and you had yours) to my comment to this appalling interview with someone who has no interest of Iran at heart and willing to prostitute himself to anyone/organization promising to bring him back to power so he and his cabal friends can fill up their bottomless pockets with Iran wealth and treasures. It is true that now there are another group doing this but why we should strive to replace one group of thieves with another (Mais, Oui...Oui...)? Why we should advocate openly or secretly as this specimen has done to destroy Iran? Current administration has reportedly its Blitz plan ready and willing to use it at any moments. My hope is that one day we can have an Iran free of outside interferences with true democratic government by the people and for the people. A government that treat everyone regardless of sex, religion and national origin (referring to burgeoning population of Afghans who currently are living in Iran and No I am not Afghan). Foad

AASH

Ye gheroon bedeh aash, be hamin khial bash! try to deal with this goverment and make it better, don't start a revolution or a war, thats the last thing these poor people need...

Javid Shah

Thank you Arvand for the interview - Long live HIM Reza Shah II!

anonym8:

Anonymous8, I am pasting this from YOUR comments:

Anonymous8: "You did and do continue to argue that being "self-made" is irrelevant to one's success, that's another way of saying it's meaningless..." 

I am pasting this from my previous comments:

Jamshid: Mohamad, Eskandar, Mossadegh, ... lived on their parents wealth before they became somebody. In contrast, there were many self-made people who never amounted to anything. There are people who lived on their wealthy parents who amounted to nothing too. And there are self-made people that became sombody important, etc...  it is not what life gives you that counts, it is what you do with it that matters

Any person with even a single digit IQ reading the above would understand that what I am saying is that:

1. You can live on your parents wealth or you can be self-made and in both case you could end up not becoming someone important.

2. Conversely, you could live on your parents wealth or be self-made and in both case become someone important.

3. Therefore, significant contributors to the regional history are not necessarily ONLY those who lived on their parents wealth, nor necessarily ONLY those who were safe-made either.

4. These are the only things you can imply from my comments. You cannot imply that I meant being self-made is meaningless. You could only imply that I meant being self-made does not automatically make you a significant contributors to world affairs. Period.

More comments from you: ''typical of the Monarchists..." I have defended the Shah in the past but HOW DO YOU KNOW IF I AM A MONARCHIST? Does defending Islam automatically makes you a pro-IRI?

You also say "You are so ideologically invested in the Pahlavis that you are incapable of judging this situation on its merrits." I have personally attacked Reza's ways of handling his political carrier in my previous writings NUMEROUS times. Same with his father's mistakes during his rule. That alone disprove your statement about being ideologically invested in Pahlavis and not judging by merits. Which takes me to this question: WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO PUT FALSEHOOD IN MY MOUTH AND OTHERS' EARS?

Then you say this: "Next you'd be telling that the BBC stole Reza's wealth and gave it to the Mullahs!" Since when can you read minds? HOW DO YOU KNOW I WILL BE SAYING THAT BBC STOLE REZA'S WEALTH? WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE SUCH FALSE CALIMS?

Perhaps too much oghdeh has made you blind. Stop being "asabi". The Pahalvis are not the evils you have made them in your mind.

FOR GOD SACK

First thing first, who said this person is a monarch. His grand father, reza shah, was a stable boy. He was not a born monarch. Then his father, overthrown shah, was a dictator who did not see mullahs where coming but saw himself a great leader, shahe shahan. This so called prince, what a joke, is just left over of another dark age in our history. I will never ever vote to a useless show off like this one. If you see other nations have monarchs it is because they have true royal blood. This person is so useless he can not even argue with mullahs. He is taking his own supporters for a ride. Iran needs a leader not a sosol.

Thank you all!

Thank you all for your input and “sometimes” encouraging words. My intentions were to put a sports article together and not to create a political debate. However, in this particular case it was unavoidable. On one hand it is a great to see freedom of speech at work and on the other some of the arguments took me back 27 years to Tehran in front of the University!!
It’s amazing how some of us have not changed our ways after almost 3 decades. We still love to attack and destroy whatever that stands between our ideologies and beliefs!
Few people asked why I chose Mr. Pahlavi to talk about football. My answer to those is because in my view he had interesting tales to share and he did.
Like it or not, he is part of Iranian history and I am happy that I did this.
Again, many thanks for your comments and Pirooz Iran!

Great set of questions

Great set of questions Boston! I've been wondering the same for numerous years!
Let's stop the bashings, the name callings and the foul language.
Let's dig deeper and think facts.
Let's set emotions aside and work on solutions and format. --and yes let's answer Boston's questions!

A hypothetical scenario and a few questions...

Suppose the mullahs and their entire establishment were to collapse tomorrow and completely disappear from the face of the earth and an opportunity became available for the Iranians to chose their next form of Government and leader, then what and who would Iranians chose? What should be the right settings for this to happen? What process(es) would you suggest for the citizens of Iran to follow in order not to repeat the past mistakes so that they can make the optimum choices? Can Iranians be trusted to make the right decisions? Should international organizations and communities become involved to oversee the process? A food for thought!? Please formulate your arguments with reasons, logic, and proofs. Envision a situation where you are trying justify to your supervisor how great and productive an employee you are and why he shouldn't fire you!?

PS -- If the educated members of the Iranian.com community who happened to be of "know-it-all" kind can not come up with a reasonable and practical story that could lead us to a successful path, then why should we expect our counterparts in Iran to have a story?

Very grown-up!

Very grown-up! Very civilaized!! Well-done!!!
You monarchists always know how not to disappoint.

anonymous8, were you offended?... akhaaay! naaazi....

I am glad you are loving it. Here is something for you to love some more: I never said that being self-made is meaningless. I only said that those who became movers and shakers of the world were not necessarily all self-made. Go read it again.

How desparate YOU must be to make meaningless conclusions from my remarks.

Mohamad was only an average merchant before marriying Khadijeh, nothing more. Everything else you say about him, eg, "amin" and so forth is invented for him by his followers. Besides it's irrelevant. The point is that his life began to change and he began to become somebody only AFTER he could use Khadijeh's wealth.

Yes, Alexander was very young when he invaded Iran. But age was not the point of the discussion. The point was and still is that Alexander lived on his rich family and there was nothing wrong with that. Don't change the subject to age out of desperation.

Same with Mossadegh. Also, without the financial and political support of his influential family, he may have never been elected to the parlamant. The point again is that he lived on his parents wealth and that there is nothing wrong with that.

So what if Reza will be 47? His grand father was in his 40s too when he became well known. Besides age was not the point. Your comment was about looking down to Reza because he is living on his inheritance. That was the center of my reply.

I don't claim Reza could be a great leader for the opposition to IRI. What I am saying is that living on parents wealth is not something to look down to. It depends on the person. Neither of us has had the honor of knowing him personally and close.

I am self-made in everything I have done since I was 17. But I am not oghdei. When I see a rich Iranian, I don't automatically consider him a thief nor a bacheh soosool. It all depends on the person.

P.S. Using words such as "pathetic" or "embarassment" and so on will not make other readers say "WOW! What a great comment!". It does not make others think I am pathetic nor embarassing. It does not amplify your remarks. Although it has such effects only on the person who is using these words. 

P.S.#2: Reza lost most of his wealth due to having bad advisors. He recouped only after his marriage, and his father's wealth was not there to help him.

Jamshid, really, listen to yourself... you are an embarrassment

I love it. You're reduced to arguing that being "self made" is meaningless. Oh how desperate you must be!

Your knowledge of history is shockingly weak. Mohammad was first hired by Khadija after he was already a successful businessman and tradesman. His high reputation as "Amin" was sealed before he was even 25 years old. This dispite the fact that he grew up "yatim" without a father and that restricted his career options in the traditional tribal system of Arabia.

Alexander the great had already conquored Iran by the time he was in his early 20's. So yes, you're right, until he was an adult, he was supervised by his royal parents. But by 25 he had conquored the World.

And Mossadegh was elected to the Iranian Paliament at the age of 24.

So we have a successfull businessman who went on to become a Prophet, a true tactical genius who conquored the known world and a man who was elected in a democracy, all before the age of 25. Which one are you comparing to Jr. again?

Jr. will be 47 next month. When exactly is he going to get off the trust fund and do something with his life? How long does it take?!!!

How truly pathetic. (That's just you and your so-called arguments.)

Unfortunately, in light of your personal insults, I have to refer to my previous remarks about you. Just look down the page for the word "Nazi".

He wasn't a Leader

Reza Shah was good. But the Shah himself was a poor leader. He was a nice person but was simply in a wrong business. He should have been doing something else for living. He wasn't an effective leader. Didn't have leadership qualities.

He was somewhat superstitious, and religious. So he was soft toward mullahs and ayatollahs.

He was delusional. He was obsessed with the glory of the old Perisan Empire. And didn't understand the reality of modern Iran. He was out of tune!

On the other hand, he was a gentleman. Well-dressed, well-mannered. and meant-well. And made every Iranian proud.

Monarchy is outdated. Had he realized that soon enough, and had he chaged the system to Republic, now Iranians didn't have to deal with these ayatollahs and mullahs cockroaches !

Come on guys. Reza Pahlavi seems like a nice guy and a gentleman. Why should we blame him because of his father !!

Thank you for a great and honest job!

Dear Arvand,

I would like to express my appreciation for doing such a great job. YOu are as classy as the Prince.
Obviously he doesn't have the complexes that some Iranins do.
Some people need anger management really bad!!

Zendeh bad
