When the interviewer parrots the usual, the Shah was repressive, the Shah was oppressive, Richard Nixon sets the record straight.

 

The Shah was a progressive who instituted literacy and land reform programs.

'We can, recognize that the world and its leaders are not "perfect" and at the same time say that their alternative is much, much worse.'
