Tehran and Havana, Models of Tyranny, Destruction, and Revolution
The current conflict between America and Iran is the rightful spotlight and concern in global news.

I can recall a time when Iran was a modern western nation and former Presidents JFK, Nixon and even Jimmy Carter met with the Shah of Iran regularly.
