I would add to Wendel's posting that one of the most disasterous moves the last Shah made, not only for himself and his regiem, but also for the Iranian peoples, was to forcibly relocate nomadic tribal groups not only from their seasonal pasturages, but to areas totally alien to them many hundreds of miles away.
Smacks of what we have done in this country to our own "native" cultures for well on 200 years now.
