Yes, we assisted in removing a Commie sympathizing Mossadegh and got a good ally in the Shah. Sounds good to me. Wish we could do something similar today.
We assisted! Huge understatement...we did all the heavy lifting and then stuck girly-man reza in his seat.
Right you are, speedy. The US has lost the moral high ground and has no backbone or stomach for this kind of fight today. I am ashamed to see the powerful in Washington kow-towing to foreign governments and asking permission from the * UN * to do what should have been done years ago. If our government had not gone soft, over one million Kurdish men women and children would still be alive today and thousands more of our soldiers would still be here to defend those who want to be free. That includes the people of Iran whose voices are being drowned out by the loud throats in the mosques and silenced by torture, starvation, stoning and beheading.
