If the Iranian people were so happy, with the ayatollah turning their country into an authoritarian, brutal, theocracy, why did so many flee the country? There is a huge Iranian expat society, all descended from people very unhappy with the Shah being replaced with someone much worse. While attending UCLA, I worked for an Iranian pediatrician in Westwood. His patients were mostly Iranian, Jews, Christians and Muslims. In 1979, there was a huge influx of Iranians, and all of them hated the ayatollah. Sure, the hardliner Muslims might have been happy, but that was not true of most of the country, who had much more freedom, under the Shah.
