Default Re: The Iranian Mullah : Another favorite son of US foreign policy

"Mossadegh was replaced by another Prime Minister, the Shah was already the Shah at the time"

Mossadegh was replaced after CIA-backed pro-monarcy forces stormed government offices by a CIA-linked general. You make it sound like he was voted off the local Golf Club committee. The Shah was in exile at the time. He was in control of the country within a year.
