Tehran basically looked like any other large progressive city in the middle east such as Tel-Aviv or Beirut, before the fighting started. <br /><br />Who's to say a benevolent dictator in charge is worse for the people than crazed Islamo-moonbats?

We installed the Shah as our puppet in Iran and everything was hunky-dory until the idiot Carter decided Iran no longer needed to be the educational, cultural, and agricultural shining city on a hill for the middle east. Carter(D) preferred a backwards, barbaric Islamist regime instead. <br /><br />We were happy with Mubarak being our ruthless dictator in Egypt, and Egypt prospered with that....(it's the only form of government that works in that part of the world). <br /><br />In fact, you can say the same thing about Iraq. Saddam was our dictator....but he got too big for his britches. If he had just raped and pillaged and gased his people every now and then, we'd probably leave him alone. That's the difference, republicans like mid-east dictators too, but when they get out of control, we get rid of them under the guise of importing democracy. Democrats unthinkingly yank the rug out from under anybody regardless of the consequences if it helps them sleep better in their smug altruism and humanity.
