Yes   I had students at UTEP from Iran...most wanted the Shah out but
didn't want Khomeni or religious fanatics to get power... careful what you
ask for...you might get it...
I read a really good book by writer from Afghanistan about the Russian
occupation and the different Mujahadin that drove them out.  Lots of what
is covered about history of this  area with American and British presence
really opened my eyes to mistakes made long ago which affect us today  We
meddled and disabled the status quo.   Don't get me  wrong crazy is crazy
and terrorism is  wrong but if western nations had not interfered way back
to then in search for oil, how different the middle east might be....it is
a very complex question which I try to learn about... maybe some of you
whose dad were engineers or consultants back then can illuminate me.
