” I am extremely proud to be of Persian descent ….. I have thousands of years of advanced culture, society, knowledge, history, the arts, creation of Human Rights and so very much more. It would take years of intensive study to be capable of sharing all which was The Persian Empire. Present day Iran contains so much culture and tradition….however, it struggles to own it’s rich history. Since the installation of the Islamic Republic, Iran has been forced backwards to the Dark Ages….all of the advancements that both of The Pahlavi Shahs implemented to elevate Iran to a state of modernization, are barely memories now. The Iranian youth of today, which make up the majority of the present population, do not even know about, nor are they educated about their own complete history. It is a manipulated and tainted education, indeed. Ask any of them who The Shah was, or mention the name Pahlavi…and you shall encounter blank stares. The country is rich in so many ways….it saddens me to think of where Iran would be today, had the Revolution never been allowed to take place and the US would have watched The Shah’s back…instead of stabbing it. Iran would have been a vibrant, modernized, glittering country with a highly educated population. “
