3. Exactly what do you know of his views?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Pahlavi
Reza Pahlavi has used his high profile status as an Iranian abroad to campaign politically for human rights, democracy, and unity among Iranians in Iran and outside it.<4> On his website he calls for a separation of religion and state in Iran and for free and fair elections "for all freedom-loving individuals and political ideologies". He exhorts all groups dedicated to a democratic agenda to work together for a democratic and secular Iranian government.<5>

9. Ali Reza, IIRC. Offed himself last month. He was the eldest. His sis took her own life, as well..

years ago.

Farrah Diba had it all... and has paid a horrible price which just keeps increasing.

6. He has no credibility in Iran and deserves none.

7. As an educated Iranian he does have credibility and deserves to be heard

[Better Believe It]

10. Does he support the Tunisian, Egyptian and other Arab movements for democracy and economic justice?

Does he and if so what is he doing in support of these movements?

He's made a few very general remarks but until now has never said anything against the numerous dictatorships in the Arab world.

Why should he?

He fancies himself as the "Crown Prince of Iran"!

And he lives a very comfortable life in the United States.

Just what the Arab people need.

A crown prince to lead them.

A real man of the people.



The crown prince as a young boy with his mommy and daddy. In this 1967 ceremony his daddy Shah crowned himself as the King of Kings and Emperor of Iran.

8. You might want to read up on this guy before jumping to the conclusion

that he's anything like his father. A lot of knee-jerking going on here.
