But there would not have been a Shah if our CIA had not already toppled the prior elected leader., which was long before the Ayatola revolution.

So? What are you getting at? Yeah, the CIA toppled the previous government and put the Shah in charge. I don't have a problem with it. I think it was great.

Had we left things alone, we would have eventually ended up with a Islamic theocracy anyways. Notice what is happening in Turkey?

The Shah was a vast improvement over the other options.
