Your reinterpretation of the Iranian Revolution is remarkable. I was there on the first Minister Training course and saw 84 buildings get blown up one day because 84 people had been shot by the Shah's army the day before. I saw soldiers running down the alleyway next to our hotel shooting at people. I read newspapers every day for over 2 months that listed many hundreds dead and many more "disappeared".
If this is a peaceful transition, then I wonder what needs to happen for you to consider it violent? Peron was dictator of Argentina way before Maharishi was teaching TM anywhere, so I don't know what you had in mind here. Possibly Pinochet of Chile? Who managed to "disappear" thousands of Chileans after a violent coup d'etat that saw the murder of hundreds, including the legally elected president, Allende? Get you facts straight before you begin to draw broad conclusions. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "lupidus108" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> ----- Original Message ----- > > > > > > Seems to me that all the buttering up of Marcos was meant to > convince > > > him to continue to support TM, AND to convince him to learn to do > it. > > > > > > I take it that neither happened? > > > > Nope.
