I recall when even people who disagreed with the dictatorship in Iran had to hide their faces even while they were in the USA for fear of what SAVAK* might do to them or their families.


Was that fear of what SAVAK operatives would do to them inside the USA or to their families inside Iran? It's pretty sad that the US felt the need to support dictatorships just to counterbalance the perceived threat from the Soviet Union.
