the same could be asked of america. what kind of country would america be now if it had not overthrown iran's democracy and replaced it with a dictatorship thus launching 56 years of clandestine covert activity hidden behind hypocrisy, dishonesty and lies?

        "In 1953 the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran's popular Prime Minister, Mohammed Massadegh. The Eisenhower Administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons; but the coup was clearly a setback for Iran's political development. And it is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs."
