Hilarious the things people say on here.
Ok history lesson-
1952- American CIA operatives go to Iran and orchestrate overthrow of the (democratically elected) Prime Minister.
1953- The United States installs puppet leader Muhammed Reza Shah. (Yes WE put the Shah in power.)
1963- After Sha's oppresive regime (that made Saddam's regime look like Mr. Rogers) he is overthrown by a popular revolution. CIA operatives again continue they're interference in Iranian politics- the Shah, though weakened, continues in power with Americans serving as "foreign advisors."
1977-79- After another 16 years of poverty stemming from America and Britain's continuing influence over Iran's oil supply, another popular revolution drives the Shaw from power- this time the Iranians turn to Khomeini who promises to end American influence.
1982- Upset by the loss of face in losing puppet domination of Iran, America turns to Saddam Hussein to fight its battles for it.
