Re: The Iranian Mullah : Another favorite son of US foreign policy
"Mossadegh was rapidly becoming massively unpopular as he drove the Iranian economy into the gutter"
If he was so unpopular why did you have to engineer a CIA coup to overthrow him? Noone seriously argues he was some sort of oppressive dicator; if he was that unpopular the Iranians themselves could have overthrown him and put their own choice of leader in power instead of a vicious tyrant.
