shah

See Pinochet in Chile, the Shah in Iran (although the British had a big part in that too).

If you were to cash out and move to Mexico, you'd practically be a shah.

However, since Shah also discussed potential products that the LLC would be trying to commercialize, the choice of words and resultant confusion is understandable.

The last few times I've been on Product Hunt was because I got an email that Hiten Shah and shared something.

Twenty years of oppression under the pro-US Shah led to a revolution led by Khomeni and they unsurprisingly hit the embassy where it all started.

* The US takes the Shah in and Iranians believe due to this are planning another coup.

The Shah then took control of the country.

Your suggestion is exactly what the Shah did on behest of the UK and USA: he came down real hard on the pro-democracy cosmopolitan youth breaking up their meetings and demonstrations.

My understanding is that it was exactly the opposite: the Shah was too meek to assert himself and reign in his courtiers, some of whom were up to some very evil stuff.

(Submitting my own post.) I'm taking on Paul Graham and Dharmesh Shah in this one, so I'd love to hear people's comments/responses.

For 500 years, Iran had a monarchy, until after WW2 when the "Shah of Iran" took over.

(Like overthrowing Iran's secular parliamentary democracy for daring to be vaguely "socialist", installing the Shah.) Or their police who literally strangle people in broad daylight, and violently attack people like the Occupy movement who imaginatively discuss alternatives to the economic order.

It covers #1 and #2, eg - "The same shah whom Washington was now trying to shun had been lifted to power in a 1953 coup engineered by the CIA and the British, displacing the elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who had had the temerity to nationalise the Iranian oil industry.

There as a large bloc that wanted to return to a monarchy who brought back the Shah.

Shah did use his maplight email address, but not the maplight street address.

Unfortunately, Mossadegh exiled the Shah, nationalized the oil industry, and suspended elections.
