Iran Reviews > What About That 1953 CIA Iranian Coup?
[FreedomsZone] I stated that the last time the United States government overthrew an Iranian government, back in 1953, it destroyed a democracy and instituted a dictatorship.

They calculate that, with a docile, corporate-owned press, a co-opted mainstream church, and a still-trusting populace, the United States and/or the Israelis can launch a successful air offensive to disrupt any Iranian nuclear weapons programs -- with the added bonus of possibly causing the regime in power in Iran to crumble....
[Tpmcafe.com] Iran Links | TPMCafe: One would think that, if preventing Iran (or any other dictatorships or shaky states) from getting the Bomb is extremely urgent -- which it is -- then we damn well ought to prepare to move our troops from Iraq to Iran immediately.
