    Merely because, I hope, our society is to far past that for them to drag us back that far.

    These women in Iran just before the Islamic Revolution in 1979 probably thought they were too far past it, too.

        Iran. Even if the British and American interference was abhorrent, an Islamic Fascist state wasn’t the only alternative they had.

        Putting all the agency (and therefore responsibility) in imperial powers is also a form of imperialism.

        Iran caused that revolution. They were fed up with a leader seen as a western puppet so they replaced him with religious extremist.
