  • they surely have reason to worry.
  • are you saying the iranian people had no clue what was going on? that they saw no correlation between mossadegh trying to nationalise the oil companies(amongst other things) and the overthrow of his government?
    everything was not peachy until 1979.


    Are you saying they did? If you're suggesting that the Iranian people knew exactly what was going on, then give me evidence.

    Where was the finger pointing? Where was the international outlash?

  • Iran is fighting us in Iraq, so they don't have to fight us at home.

    Why would Iran have the same misleading strategy as Bush? :D

    your contention was that everything in iran was peachy more or less until the overthrow of the shah in 1979. mine is that the iranian people were not in the dark. but whether they knew exactly what was going on, that i can not answer. and i never stated that. though i can not imagine a population that knows nothing of what is going on in their own country.
    international backlash against whom? the american supported overthrowing of a government? finger pointing at who? all that has to be done is mention the word socialist or communist and most international opposition is negated. and those that do question are labelled communists themselves or pinko lovers. waving the red flag in the face of the ill informed is usually enough you know that. let's not forget when mossadegh was overthrown.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Yes, we were still political allies through the '70's. That's a F.A.C.T.

    If you don't want to answer the question and only wish to speculate then how do you ever expect to make it on Hannity & ?

    Ugh. I've already been through this. Someone pointed out Mossadeq and the '50s. That's when I came back with while that was the case we were still political allies through the '70s. If I didn't specify political then I wholeheartedly apologize.

    Stop giving me such a hard time.

    oh you poor poor baby. :(

    what are we arguing for then?

    Right. That's all I was really saying the entire time wasn't I?

    That's a pretty harsh thing to say about Hawaii.

    Iran was not an Ally. The Shah was an ally. The people of Iran didn't particularly care for that guy and now they are the Islamic Republic of Fuck America.

    Whats worse..

    Iran Having nuclear capability resulting in their haveing a greater voice in international affairs

    Or Iran retaliating against a US attack with small dealy terror like attack on us interests around the world..


    Why wait for them to be nuclear to listen to them (you know, consider them neighbors - you know - people) - I have an idea.. lets talk to them now.. maybe they can help with the Iraq situation.


    I know that is silly

    They can help by stop arming militias who are killing our friends and family members.

    That may not be clear to some of the readers here....

    I already addressed that in the post you responded to. That would be brilliant - lets make the dirty little childish bar fight even bigger.
