First of all you talk of not understanding a REAL democracy, then you talk of Pro American as if they are one and the same?
Mohammed Mossadegh, was Irans first every democratically elected prime minister, he then moved to nationalization Irans Oil industry, not following same suit as the Pro Saudi Dictatorship, making US, UK Oil companies unhappy.
How much money they have invested in the US, 800 Billion, this is your idea of pro American democracy?
After just 2 years of democracy, coup is formed, Pro American, Shah of Iran, the monarchial dictator privatizes Oil back to US/UK Oil companies. murder, rape of civilians, mass protest and so on.
Natural Iranian people overthrow dictatorship, and replace it with what is now a democracy which isn't going to throw billions of dollars into New York banks.
Then US support dictator Saddam against the Iranian...
I live in a Democratically elected Republic and the most free nation in the world, so I understand the concept well enough.
The USA did give satellite technology regarding whereabouts of troops from Iran to Saddam back then because Iran at that time had taken USA hostages and rather than send in our military, we let Saddam use his. Smart move actually.
Biggest step toward freeing up Iran is to remove theocracy from the government and to not let terrorists be recognized if the people or some foul play gets them elected to power.
If there are terrorist getting into leadership in Iran as there has been in Palestine with Hamas, then that just shows 25 years of theocracy has made them a terrorist state.
