    Well, Iran had a democratic government before the U.S. and U.K. orchestrated the coup in 1953 that installed the Shah. The government was led by Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was democratically elected and nationalized the oil industry.

        I like this extra information. Why do you have a problem with it?

          Hey, they never said they had a problem with it. They just asked for a connection back to the subject.

        I like the idea of remembering history and who the real villains are. These scum are just a result of American work.

          Ah, but the Americans are only there because of the British. And the British, only because of the Normans.

          Or were you hoping to stop history wherever supports this conclusion?
