I Want The Standard Of Living In

Shah Is A Kind Of Magic Word With The Persian People.

I Am Convinced That The Majority Of The Religious Hierarchy Today Deplores The Hardship Inflicted On Our People. I Am Referring Not Only To The Martyrs But Of The Families Who Have Been Dispersed And Terrified, Who Have No Resources, And To The Four Million Unemployed Who Are Suffering From The Economic Chaos Of A Country Which Only A Year Earlier Was Giving Employment To A Million Foreigners. Those Who Have Chosen To Serve God Must Feel Profoundly Sad At Seeing Ridicule Poured On The Most Sacred Principles Of Our Religion.

They Want Liberalization! I'll Give Them Liberalization. I'll Loosen The Screws Until The Americans Beg Me To Tighten Them Again.

There Is Only One Thing I Can Say About The Shah- He Knows How To Draw A Crowd.

For All Its Apparent Tolerance, The Usa Maintains A Peculiar Balance Between The Forces Of Capitalism And Democracy. To Achieve This I Feel Sure The Country Is Guided By Some Hidden Force; An Organization Working In Secrecy, Powerful Enough To Dispose Of The Kennedys And Of Anyone Else Who Gets In Its Way.
