If you have not read up on America's attempt, which succeeded in overthrowing Mosaddegh, simply because he wanted a fair amount of money from the production of oil in Iran, an arrangement Great Britain didn't like, I cannot be held accountable for your lack of knowledge. The only mistake I made was saying son, instead of grandson, Kermit Roosevelt. PS You are rude.

Do you really think for one moment I was suggesting this was a lone operation by Kermit Roosevelt? I even heard a lecture by Stephan Kinzer on his book, "All The Shaw's Men." Came to our political group and spoke for 2 hours on the subject. You are not talking to an idiot or someone who is new to politics, and nor should you make comments using mean spirited insults which people resort to in order to feel superior, as opposed to behaving like a confident adult who wishes simply to communicate.
Sometimes people respond quickly, and perhaps assume you know the story, and it was just a reminder. Iconoclast if you find my comments don't measure up to your intellectual demands ignore them and move on. This is my last comment.
If you want to make a half-assed allegation to smear one group and ignore the greater group doing the actual shit, expect me to call you or anyone else (as I have even Glenn) on it.
Kermit Roosevelt was a pawn of the oil companies. After the 50/50 Aramco deal, everyone was terrified of that happening in Iran.
Britain was receiving more from AIOC than Iran and this is why MI6 pressured the CIA for help. Pahlavi gets installed by the foreigners who are taking out 80% of the countries natural resources, making the locals do all the work and only giving them 20% and no decision making power.
Can you blame the people for overthrowing Pahlavi? Can you blame them for kicking the resource-stealing foreigners out of their country?
Oh I think thats a very narrow interpretation and you conveniently leave out the 5 eyes nations who were actually behind the vast push to gather oil.
Do some research on the subject and Id love to discuss it further. You are blaming one person for the actions of multiple nations (who were trying to grab resource rich but defense poor countries for their own needs).

Iconocrap is indeed a rude know-it-all. He wants to quibble with the details to look smart and irritate people. He's an asshole on purpose.
Your genral explanation was adequate; Mosaddegh was overthrown by CIA headed by Kermit Roosevelt.
That is all that needs saying.

Thanks William I really appreciate your response.
except it was MI6 pushing everything not one random person at the CIA
I won't give you the last word, the point is they removed him, no more really needs to be said.
Im glad to see you are now saying "They" instead of a lone CIA employee.
Progress.

Let me requote you:
"I know that Iran no doubt would be a democracy today if the son of Teddy Roosevelt had not wiped away Mosaddegh with lies and innuendo."
Where in that statement are you blaming anyone but Kermit Roosevelt?
This is the statement I took issue with, and have since you made it.

This is a forum, where people discuss things.

You are a know-it-all prick.
