From: Roland Francis Wonder what Iran would look today if: The Shah was more sensitive to his people?s needs than to western demands. Savak was not let loose on political rebels and dissidents with torture and killing behind the scenes.
The 2500th anniversary of Cyrus The Great was not celebrated in Persepolis a city in the desert with royals and chiefs of States from 80 countries that cost 680 million in 1975 dollars. -------------- GL responds: If the 680 million was spent in the country, the money became part of the local economy and the ripple effect made its way to the common folks. That expenditure is better than spending the same on 2 F-10 jet fighters. Regards, GL
