      His stands on the murderous regime of the shah being better than the murderous regime of the mullahs was truly aweful. It's so unfortunate that some folks keep grasping for a facade that is nostalgia for the past instead of moving forward and plea for true democracy and freedom. There is literally NO room for monarchy in the POLITICAL realm. Why does he even care?? It's done and over with, get over it. He's a Pahlavist as Reza said, I have no respect for that political affiliation one bit, it truly shows a stunt in your political understanding and development and honestly makes me doubt the intelligence of anyone who still fights for the reputation/legitimacy of a monarchy in this day and age.

      I don't support regime change in Iran , the regime is too powerful and the regime is likely to stay in power for the next 100000 years , the country is too big and they are not going to be overthrown , I do however support reforms , I think the best policy is the removal of sanctions and the embargo and the return of all frozen assets to that country , Iran will have to improve relations with western nations
      Regime change is not the right policy and frankly the regime in that country is stronger than it has ever been before since they got a majority vote in 1979 .
      NOTE: I don't support the ayatollahs in Iran but they are in charge of that country and we are going to have to learn to respect them and live with them , the regime in Iran must reform its policy

      well...lol..at least you are honest.....this conversation is super important.. so Imagine that Iran is a student who has been accused of cheating on a test. The other countries in the world are the teachers who are concerned about the student's behavior and want to make sure that he is not cheating in the future. To ensure that the student(Iran) is not cheating, the teachers agrees to give the student a series of extra assignments and to watch him closely while he completes the assignments. In return, the teachers agrees to give the student a good grade, not to punish him for past misbehavior, and to give him some extra money.
      This is similar to the way that the Iran nuclear deal worked, with the international community imposing restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions and the release of Iranian funds that had been frozen overseas.. ::PBD:: believes giving money to the parent (government) is not the way to solve the problem cause he argue the parent are corrupt and they dont care for their kid..... ::REZA:: argues that there are reliable systems in place that will make sure the parent will give the money to the student (government to the people)..but they both agree that are no safe way to give the money directly to the student -- TEACHERS(USA) STUDENT(IRAN PEOPLE)

From speaking to common people of different backgrounds, I feel the people would be a lot happier and self-sufficient if they had access to the free market. Regardless of the government, people just want to live. America does not care about THE PEOPLE, the sanctions are hurting THE PEOPLE. With America, it's always about self-interests.

      I don't support regime change in Iran , the regime is too powerful and the regime is likely to stay in power for the next 100000 years , the country is too big and they are not going to be overthrown , I do however support reforms , I think the best policy is the removal of sanctions and the embargo and the return of all frozen assets to that country , Iran will have to improve relations with western nations
      Regime change is not the right policy and frankly the regime in that country is stronger than it has ever been before since they got a majority vote in 1979 .
      NOTE: I don't support the ayatollahs in Iran but they are in charge of that country and we are going to have to learn to respect them and live with them , the regime in Iran must reform its policy

    As an IranianI I find it interesting that both of these guys have left Iran many years ago when they were only a kid and when the population of the country was 1/3 of what it is now. Lower poulation always means more facility richer people, less problems etc. For example we only have almost ten million Afghan refugees living in the country so the situation is very different from what they have in their minds. By the way I find Reza more reasonable in this debate. The problem with PBD is he thinks very idealistic and he forgets the fact that the country is heavily surrounded by Isis, Taliban, Al Qaeda etc. Any revolution or instability of the country can lead to a HUGE disaster for ordinary people. These terrorist groups did not exist when he left Iran and the situation was totally different. Also he thinks only the Clergies(Akhounds) in Iran are morons and deceitful and the American politicians are Saints and honestly I dont think so.

      That’s because Reza is equating the shah as being equivalent to khomeini which is pure dishonesty. The shah held back when it came to executions and voluntarily stepped down. However Khomeini and khamenei have killed hundreds of thousands of Iranians and made living in Iran a hell. In the 60’s-70’s Iran was one of the fastest growing economies in the world and was a place many wanted to be. It’s completely insane to just say “they’re both as bad as each other because they’re dictators” when one is clearly better than the other and we have praised many kings before.

Especially when that person dosen't bring any insight, facts or solutions to the table. Your intellect is not being entertained but your patience and mood is.

      Which is a great recepie for extremism.
      That's what one should expect when knowledge is replaced with prejudice and bias.
      I belive he's views have partly been inherited by his parents/enviroment and partly are a result of indoctrination and trying to fit in with the strong, stupid, American government stance in the matter.
      It all boils down to ignorance.

      @DanReh 10 месяцев назад +10

      ​@@Candice-Tara The strategy in Afghanistan was invasion through military force. We are not talking about military invasion here. So, it’s not the same strategy as Afghanistan. And Afghanistan was a disaster on many levels but I digress.
      What Reza is doing in this video is defending the JCPOA, which is the Iran Nuclear Deal under the Obama administration. Reza argues that removing sanctions from Iran is a good idea because it allows for policies that lead to the economic liberalization of Iran.
      I’ll give you a quick example. One of the items that is currently banned under the sanctions on Iran are carpets. So, if you are a carpet maker in Iran, you cannot sell your carpets internationally. You are cut off from the international market place. All sanctions do is hurt the Iranian people, not the government. The government is able to make money though black markets. Now the government is more powerful and the people are less powerful. It’s become almost impossible for Iranians to rise up against the government. Reza makes the point that 45 years of sanctions has made the people poor and the government rich. The policy of blanket sanctioning Iran doesn’t work.
      Removing sanctions gives the Iranian people access to the international market place, which leads to economic liberalization. The Iranian people start becoming powerful because they are making money and gaining capital.
      Patrick keeps arguing the money doesn’t go to the people. But it’s does, through these economic policies. However, these same policies also benefit the Iranian government. Patrick is completely blinded by his hate of the Iranian regime and he doesn’t see the big picture. He is complete caught up in the 150 billion dollars (which is part of the JCPOA deal, and is money that belongs to Iran anyways) going to the Iranian regime. He just doesn't seem to understand that Iran would have to pursue economic policies that would benefit the Iranian people. His "brilliant" idea having the US government stage a coup. This is nuts and will get a lot of innocent people killed.

      The subtext is that Reza had collaborated with a terrorist organization. He did take blood money and did support policies that strengthen this regime but was expertly deflecting from the darker results of his actions and expertly framed each question so that his stance look reasonable.
      For example, Reza worked for the propaganda arm of the Iranian government, but we shouldn't view it as supporting terrorists, bc he works for a lot of ppl as an expert on religion... Get it? Doing PR for terrorists is all right if you have a Ph.D.!
