The US Central Intelligence Agency, with British backing, masterminded the coup after Mossadegh nationalised the oil industry, run until then by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

Um yeah this is common knowledge. And the whole reason we have had problem in Iran since then is because of that. Before we fucked it up Iran actually had a democracy and wasn't controled by religous zealouts. That kind of shit is exactly what Ron Paul was talking about. We stick our noses into shit we shouldn't then are shocked when people hate us. Then we play the victim. Think about it this way. If Muslims hate "freedom" so much then how come there hasn't been an attack on Canada? Oh wait they mind their own fucking business.
