Empress Farah hs recently received an award in Germany. There is a link on her own official website: www.farahpahlavi.org
It's important that some countries remember her work in Iran and now award her.
Very interesting article in today's Sunday Telegraph (UK) with an interview with Farah. Its title brought a smile to my face "The Empress Strikes Back." Farah is convinced that the Winds of Change will sweep across Iran soon and that she hopes to return home in the near future. She aknowledges that the Shah's reign was too narrow minded, and although she places a degree of blame on advisors who were looking after their own interests, she does feel that she and her husband were blinkerd to the real situation in the end. However monarchy or not she beleives that the democracy bug in Iraq will soon spill into Iran and the current regim's days are numbered.

Many thanks for the insight, Splodger - the article seems to make a very interesting reading, is there an online version, by any chance? Thanks again.
