If the CIA hadn’t deposed Mossadegh and reinstated the shah, which brought about the Islamic revolution in Iran, which in turn was the reason the US backed Saddam Hussein, which in turn caused the Iran-Iraq war, which gave the russians an opening to invade Afghanistan, which in turn caused us to back the mujahedhin, which gave rise to the taliban when we didn’t follow up with economic support after the russians were ousted, we would have a strong democratic ally in Iran today.

But NO! The US and their operatives have to ruin everything that is potentially good, with the excuse that they are bringing freedom and democracy to the world. What a load of crap!

Capitalism thrives on instability, and that will be it’s ultimate downfall.
