The real shame of course is what the mad mullahs have done to Iran. Only a matter of time until sanity returns but as bad as the Shah was the last almost 50 years have taken a country that has a whole lot going for it and destroyed it. I have co-worker who was stationed there as a USAF Major working on radar in the days of the Shah and it was a very different place.

IIRC correctly, wasn't Brit businessman arrested a few years back for trying to sell parts to the Iranians for their Tomcats?

It is a real shame about Iran; in the days of the Shah, they allowed access to airbases and all sorts of similar co-operation for the Wests overflights and general eves dropping on of the Soviet Union..
