    Ervand Abrahamian VERY SHARP, WISH MANY OF THE DOPES IN WASHINGTION
    WOULD READ/LISTEN TO HIM!!

  2. Zia Ahari, M.D.

    Ervend Abrahamian is a man whose intimate knowledge with modern Iranian history is without a doubt unique. I first became acquainted with his work immediately after the publication of his first book ” Iran Between Two Revolutions.” Later when his other two books were published, I found them proof of this belief. I listened to this broadcast and enjoyed it very much. In these troubled times, when the U.S. is again threatening to overthrow a regime without a plausible alternative replacement send shivers down my spine. The alternatives suggested are MEK, the cult-like tiny group of brainwashed people now encamped in Albania and Mr. Reza Pahlavi the Shah-in-waiting, both entities that have minimal support among Iranians. MEK is detested by the Iranians of almost all colors because of their participation in the Iran-Iraq war 1980-1988, on the Iraqi side of the conflict against Ira. According to their own publications, they slaughtered some 50,000 Iranian soldiers. Mr. Reza Pahlavi, has little hope of return, as historically if it did happen, he will be the second monarch in history that returns to the throne after the dissolution of his dynasty. That sole exception is the return of King Juan Carlos of Spain, but he never left the country and his dynast was not dissolved.
    A famous Iranian proverb says ” Don’t steal a spire before finding a well to hide it in.”
