I agree with you that there were certain things good about Shah's time. Women of Iran could dress like Europeans because Shah liked it that way. Personally, I believe in Individual and Civil rights and as long as they are not breaking any laws people should be free to do whatever they want. I do not support the Mullahs and their theocracy. But Iranians are better educated today because these mullahs brought education to the rural Iran.
As for the freedom, if you lived under the rule of SAVAK during Shah's time then you already know how much FREEDOM existed back then. As the Shah once told Barbara Walters during an interview that the people do not have a right to disagree with him because that amounts to insulting the King.
and If you live under The rule of VEVAK during islamic republic then you would like to say God bless shah.
shah was a dictator and all know that, but it was just about politic, not social,culture and ...
