A good example of things not improving with a revolution.
If he went home, he probably got the shallow grave in the desert, no matter who he was supporting.

If he worked over here and was considered Westernized, when the nut jobs took over he probably ate a bullet.

If he went back during the Shah's range and spoke a little to loudly, he probably dissapeared, was tortured for a couple of weeks, and then ate a bullet.
