Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

NO!
Do you know how bad it was back then? Do you think revolutions come out of a vacuum? We were brutalised by the dictator in a puppet regime.
We want the secular democracy we had in 1953 before the UK & USA decided all our oil was theirs.
