(Okay, for the one person who stumbles upon this post looking for pictures of something.)
Why Is Iran Our Enemy?
After you answer that question, recall this:
Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh (1882-1967) was a lawyer, professor, author, Governor, Parliament member, Finance Minister, Defense Minister, and democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran.Mossadegh fought both internal corruption and British colonialism, enacted social reforms and nationalized the Iranian oil industry. In 1953, he was overthrown by a British-American coup, arrested and tried as a traitor in military tribunal court. It was the CIA's first successful dismantling of a foreign government, and Iran has not known democracy since.
”First” successful overthrow. And who did they empower? Why, the Shah, of course. And when the people could take no more, they rose up and in the struggle were taken by the Ayatollah. I’m sure they thank us every day.
When did the coup occur? Right after Mossadegh nationalized the oil company (which is now BP), of course.
Up with democracy. Down with the CIA.
