Nadir Shah epitomized Iran as much as Mahmud of Ghazni epitomized Afghanistan. Both these countries have not changed. They remain what they were centuries back...fundmentalists, intolerant, barbaric and plunderers.
Mahmud of Ghazni was what is Taliban today. And Nadir Shah was what was Khomeini. The present President of Iran is no less.
Every country learns from history except for India who will always bend backwards to lick the boot of all those people who have looted, murdered and plundered India. The leftists ofcourse are rootless nomads who have no nationality, no patriotism, no culture or no belief. They are like locusts who move from country to country in search of pastures of poverty which feeds them. The lesser said or talked about them is better.
