Iran - democracy

[Gunneddown]

Guys, come along with me on a trip back in time. The year was 1951. Doctor Mossadegh was voted president of Iran and the election was done fairly and by the will of the iranian people.
Mossadegh was educated (had a PHD)
Mossadegh was progressive
Mossadegh was pro democracy
Mossadegh was peaceful
Mossadegh didnt have a communist or terrorist bone in his body?
What happened and who helped to take him out of power and put a dictactor in power that was not elected by the iranian people, had one of the most brutal police forces and eventually made the iranian people take him out of power and turned to these extremists mullahs like the ayatolla out of sheer desperation.

People what governments were responsible for this.
Ill give you a clue, Ron Paul was the only guy that had the guts or integrity to talk about this and Operation Ajax.

Ok people time for you guys to do some surfing
Let me know what you find

Well...it was the United States and a CIA operation. What do I win?

I don't know anyone who doesn't know that. We were afraid that he was going to make the country become socialists (there was talk of nationalizing the oil wells). If Iran went socialist then the entire middle east would probably follow and we were scared. So we put in a dictator we could control. He was harsh. The main resistance movement was religion based and started the Iran we know and love after they took control.

I'm not sure about Ron Paul being involved in speaking against it. I hadn't heard any of his commentary on it before.

i totally agree with Sited.

If iran became socialist then it was sure that the entire middle east would have followed them.
