| Ronnie, I suggest you read a little bit about the history of iran before biting my head off!! Iran`s contitutiona revolution of 1906 was the first event of its kind in the region. During the Gajar dynasty it was stretched thin in the Russia and GB`s great game. The democratic movements were hindered when she was occupied by foreign powers during both world wars. Meanwhile all the while the Brits were stealing her oil without paying anything for it-talk about corruption! Finally it took momentum in 1953 when the DEMOCRATICALLY elected premier of mosadegh was toppled by Anglo-American CIA staged coup that returned the brutal shah to power. For the next 26 years, he tormented the people with the backing of the US.In fact he was trained how to torture his people by the CIA and Mossad. The result was the revolt of 79 when all the political factions united to rid the country of him. (cont`d) |
