Due to the revolution I was never able to go back and ended up having an American family and building bridges here in the US!

Although Alevism and Shiism have a lot in common, the repressive regime in Iran is very scary. No one in my family wears a headscarf. What I have seen from my elders is that no one's religious views should concern me and that I should treat everyone equally. I don't know why but I have a great love for Iran. Being westernized does not mean being corrupt and forgetting your traditions. It is a bigger shame to use religion for politics.

Due to the recent increase in oil prices he had plenty of money and he was buying all kinds of sophisticated military equipment. He lacked the capability to maintain and support this inventory. The U.S. entered into an agreement with Iran to provide this capability via a contract. I spent two years living and working in Tehran. It was an amazing experience.

There are also many areas right there in Cebu city that can use basic medical care, for example where people are basically living in squatters villages near the older bridge to Mactan Island. An additional point: One of the easiest ways to implement improvements are to offer education classes to those living with complex diseases, such as Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, but these appear to be quite limited for the populace there & I do not know why this is. Perhaps Persian nurses in training training could implement such education. In addition, many medical teams do not appear to recognize that handling such a condition means thinking about how to reduce costs, without impacting care, which nurses could be taught so they could then teach patients to handle the condition more economically.

The pace of change in Iran's political and social situation was not as fast as its economy. In addition, the industrial powers were dissatisfied with Iran's rise to power as an influential oil country.

@@syedabishosainrizvi7817 No, the Islamic Regime took control of our future and threw it of a cliff. I am not saying the Shah was great (he was a dictator after all), but he actually improved Iran in many aspects, from the economy, to social freedoms, to international influence. Also, the Shah wasn't a puppet (especially during the 60s and 70s). America described him as a troublesome ally. He made many attempts to be more independent of the west, like raising oil prices, which crippled the western economies, and even planed to nationalize Iran's oil when the The Consortium Agreement of 1954 ended.

From Persian times to now Iranians are genuinely very hospitable & friendly people. I remember the older Iran when people enjoyed real freedoms and were blatantly happier for these freedoms. Although the Shah probably had to go for the good of Iran it was in my opinion a monumental tragedy when Khomeini replaced him. I genuinely feel for the ordinary Iranian people having been ruled by intolerant religious fanatics for over forty years now. It must be been devastating for their grandparents etc...to watch such a great historical land being dragged back a thousand years after being so progressive, modern, peaceful & a true international state.
