Adding to what has been said, Iran was invaded and occupied by Britain and the USSR during the second world war. The allies forced the Shah (Reza Khan, who himself overthrew the government in a coup in 1921) to abdicate to install an allied friendly ruler, his son Mohammed Reza Pahlivi. Pahlivi ruled with US and British assistance, especially the CIA until the Iranian people became increasingly unhappy with the Shah. This escalated to the point that they revolted and voted to oust the current form of government and established the Islamic Republic of Iran (theocratic republic) in 1979.
In 1997, Mohammed Khatami was elected who tried to expand democracy, religious freedom, free speech, etc. In 2005, the current president, Mahamoud Ahmadinejad, was elected by a vote of all adult (ages 15 and up) Iranians (women included).

in the starting up, thinking your source is Fox information, i do not anticipate to regulate your opinion in the slightest. also, because you've eaten the conservative **** placed previously you, you're nonetheless below the impact that Barack Obama is a Muslim. in the starting up Iran isn't in reality our enemy. they seem to be a plausible chance, yet they don't seem to be our enemy, and for the time of concerning them as such you sound very ignorant. even as i'm very positive that you consider the perfect procedure action might want to be to preemptively strike Iran previously they can do some thing, only because Ahmadinejad says Iran is a Nuclear State does no longer mean they are in reality a nuclear state. (save in recommendations Sadam's claims that he had WMD? We did a preemptive strike on them too.) no count number what Glenn Beck has instructed you, Sean Penn did not, in reality, provide up nuclear guns to the Iranian military, or maybe with the reality that you're below the impact that conflict is the perfect answer, historic past has shown you incorrect. u.s. can no longer arise with the money for yet another conflict at present, we favor to apply democracy to sparkling up our issues. the international watched even as Iran instructed the Bush administration that they could halt their nuclear application if Bush took Iran's call off the "Axis of Evil" he created. Bush refused to even search for suggestion from with them, and they stepped ahead their nuclear application. i'd advise that you'll start staring at a authentic information station really of a extraordinarily opinionated community that doesn't continually allow you to recognize the reality.
