It was Washington that orchestrated the 1953 coup to topple Iran’s democratically elected government, the first in the Middle East, and install the compliant shah in power. It was Washington that forced Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, a man who cared as much for his country as he did for the rule of law and democracy, to spend the rest of his life under house arrest. We gave to the Iranian people the corrupt regime of the shah and his savage secret police and the primitive clerics that rose out of the swamp of the dictator’s Iran. Iranians know they once had a democracy until we took it away.

Exactly and thanks for bringing up this forgotten bit of history funny how many americans have amnesia but be assured Iran remembers.

We still cry about the hostages taken but it pales in comparison.

huh.. i've been reading it was Israel that wanted to hit Iran, not the US...

Israel will do as USA allows.

That's what happens when you meddle in the affairs of others. Our government should mind its own business, and deal with domestic policies.

i think your view is a little crooked on this... Israel will do what it wants, not what we "allow"

With 7 million of your Tax Dollars going to Israel on a daily basis I think we know who is in charge.

Like Pakistan?

key word there is "think"... we all think something...

Well I am now again saying that Israel will do as America Allows. You and I will not agree so here endeth our dialogue .

I don't know it's so much amnesia.
There's a lot of younger folks who weren't around when that happened.
And, it wasn't pounded into us by MSM. They did a few days of reporting and that was that.

If we want to avoid conflict with China or Russia, we will do as has been done. Outfit and finance another country to do the warring for us.

There are a couple ways to tell who is financing who.

One way is, look at the type of small arms are being carried. If they are toting m-16's, the US is footing the bill.

Uzi's or Ak's, China and Russia.
