The Shah used this strong arm style and look where it got him. Actually as bad as some try and make life out under the Shah, Iran was sure alot more egalitarian while he ruled. The ayatollahs and mullahs need to take a good hard look at what they are doing. It also doesn't help that some of these militiamen are Arabs, and Iranians ...well, let's just say they aren't overly fond of Arabs, regardless of their shared religious beliefs.
