Compare and contrast the differences you believe would have occurred if the scenario you purport had occurred.

Ok

Relations with Israel - would have been better, a DEMOCRATIC leader would have tried to improve ties, just like the Egyptians. Also no doubt a left winger would have got in, unlike today, so international ties as a whole would have been better.
Russia - May not have been as close as they are today, the isolation with the west has only forced them to go to Russia.
US - As the first answer, if you don't punch someone you won't get punched back. Relations  no doubt in my mind would have been better.
Europe - Irans relations atm are50/50 with Europe, some good relations and some bad. It depends on the leader whoever it may have been if democracy wasn't ruined 50 years ago
Power status - Who knows, as above, depends on leader.

But one thing for sure there wouldn't have been a ayatollah

Interesting that ramm assumes no right winger would've come to power in his fantasyland.

The Islamic revolution didn't magically appear in 26 years under the Shah. It was simmering away for quite some time. There is no guarantee that it wouldn't have occurred otherwise or that fundamentalist leadership wouldn't have been elected with the demographic shift in the population that would have occurred regardless of the Shah being in power or not.

As to the US/Iran relations...who is doing the punching? I'm fairly certain that had the Iranians not held our citizens captive for 444 days at the start of the revolution there, our relations would've gotten off on a much better foot. Perhaps if Iran weren't sponsoring terrorist organizations hell-bent on killing our people, our relations would've gotten off on a much better foot. Perhaps if Iran didn't refer to us as "the Great Satan" all the time...

Iran isolated itself, tbh. They chose to look inward after the revolution as part of their focus on the Islamic Republic. That doesn't lend itself to good relations with anyone.

I'm pretty sure that if Western countries didn't meddle in Iran so much (from during WW2 onwards) they probably wouldn't be so pissed off, turning to Islam so heavily as drive them on.

They elected Mossadeq(sp) who nationalised the oil, but Britain didn't like that and with American help toppled him and installed the Shah. That guy ruled like a cunt (for some reason) and so people started to hate him and the West. Then eventually they have their Islamic revolution and the rest is history (well it was all history but)

You can't really blame them for getting so pissed off at the West (and everyone, really, including the Soviets probably), and then with that new form of Islam comes the hate towards the West even more for all the Israel/Palestine shit (if they didn't turn so heavily towards Islam they probably wouldn't have given a shit about Israel/Palestine, that's the only connection they have to that conflict, religion) and it all just builds up from there.

Then again they could've had a revolution without all the bullshit hardcore Islamism, but that's what they turned to to get them out of their hole.

I said there would have been a more higher chance a left winger would have come into power.

Who's doing the punching??? well the US/UK threw the first punches when they decided to ruin the DEMOCRACY IN IRAN for oil. Whats happened since is a result of it. All those things you mentioned are a result of hatred produced because of what the US/UK did.

A global cunt? Ask Kuwait, Saudi , Somalia, Bosnia etc, if we were global cunts, the list is endless. Problem really is, you want to pick and choose how the US will use its own resources. We do not exist and function by your leave, contrary to popular opinion.

So, the Islamic extremist parts can't be blamed for anything? Ok.

Let's look at this example. Gulf War '91. Coalition forces stage in Saudi Arabia at the Saudi's requests, to help defend Saudi Arabia's northern border from an Iraqi invasion. Bin Laden (a Saudi) had offered his help to the government, who chose the British, Americans and French instead. So Bin Laden gets all pissed about that and launches some terrorist attacks all the way up to and beyond 9/11.

So if the Iranian's hate the west because of what happened in the 50's, because we apparently destroyed their country, then why does old Bin Lid hate us when we tried to protect his native land and buy the oil that fuels its economy? Could it be because he's a hateful extremist nutjob?

The 1979 Revolution may have come about because of the Shah, but all of the nutty assholes they've had in charge, and their funding of terrorist groups like Hezbollah has been of their own doing, not the west's. Hell we even bailed them out of their own hostage situation in 1980.

i've said this before and will mention it again, injustice breeds extremism.

There are many reasons why Al Qaeda had attacked the U.S. One reason is Bin laden got pissed at seeing the U.S in Saudi Arabia.

Quote

Bin laden in 1996 and 1998 both demand the end of the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia. In the fatwa issued in 1998, bin Laden and others wrote: "For more than seven years the United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples"
Counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke explains in his 2004 book, Against All Enemies, that U.S. foreign policy decisions including "confronting Moscow in Afghanistan, inserting the U.S. military in the Persian Gulf", and "strengthening Israel as a base for a southern flank against the Soviets" contributed to al-Qaeda's motives.

end

What Iran has become today is as a result of the ayatollah expoliting the situation of the Iranians anger due to the shah, the US puppet.

Alright then, so if one event caused by country A that means a significant, perhaps unwanted change in country B, then everything after that event is the responsibility and fault of country A? Regardless of whatever action country B takes over the years by itself.

Hmm, then perhaps we should blame the British for its war with America, which led to U.S. independence, which led to the America we have today, which led to the introduction of the Shah, which led to the 1979 revolution, which led to the Iran of today. So really, its the fault of the British all those years ago, if we are to follow your idea that those who created the original situation are responsible for everything that follows.

yes and no. Its the fault of country A as whatever action country B takes is after what country A has done. It will be on the minds of the citizens of country B and their decisions will be based on what country A did (you confused, i am lol).
But there is the point on how long can country A be blamed for. Lets look at Iran, I somewhat blame the US/UK for the revolution in 79 and same with the hostage crisis. I don't  blame them on the current political situation as leaders have come and gone over the years.
