Ira Zad, removing Mossadegh, you say, is the West’s “faux pas”, but the man was a practically a communist, having nationalized the oil industry and hurt tremendously the Iranian economy by depriving it of the foreigners who were running that industry. His appointment of the Minister of War and Chief of Staff were clearly intended to create a power struggle and those particular acts were illegal, and the end result of taking power was also illegal. Also, as you probably know, the Shah had not addressed the problem with those oil contracts because he knew they were coming due in a couple of years and he did not want an international confrontation, but Mossadegh needed precisely that. I don’t want to make this into a debate about Mossadegh and the Shah, though, and we can agree to disagree. This is a question which will remain for a long time in general. Its just that I usually agree with you but I do not see Mossadegh as this hero that many others think he is.
Alireza deserves a medal with his classical conspiracy theory.
So if Bush and the mullahs (through their agent Ahmadinejad who says convenient things at convenient times) are in league together, when Iran builds its bomb (and it will since you probably would say the U.S. is actually helping them build it), was it also their prior understanding that America and Israel were NOT targets of the weapon? Then what was the reason that Iran wanted the bomb?
And maybe Ahmadinejad’s convenient timing to saying convenient things is really far more simple: maybe Bush says things after Ahmadinejad says them, as a result of what Ahmadinejad said.
Alireza, ML’s board is nice because intelligent discourse occurs on it, contrary to you saying the board attracts the “scariest people” because they ask obvious questions that you think are inconvenient. Don’t pollute this board with your cockamamie politically-motivated dribble. Its your types who play on the Iranians to not revolt against their captors by trying to convince them that the mullahs are actually working for the U.S. and resistance to the mullah’s abroad is false. Alireza, you might as well wear a badge that says “I work for the Islamic Terrorist mullah regime.” Your post was almost a confession.
By the way, no one would say anything about Jewish names for the simple reason that I never heard of a “Mordechai”, “Joshua”, or “Binyamin” who tied a bomb to himself and blew himself up so he can go gangrape numerous virgins as God’s pereverted reward for the deed vioalating the 6th commandment, or flew airplanes into buildings because God wanted it done. Don’t play dumb.
