The shaw was overthrown for trying to bring his people into the 20th century. The barbarians could not let that happen.

Fifty years ago, the CIA overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh, the popular, democratically elected prime minister of Iran, and reinstalled the country's exiled monarch, Mohammad Reza Shah. In "All the Shah's Men," Stephen Kinzer, a longtime New York Times correspondent, covers this event in an exciting narrative. He questions whether Americans are well served by interventions for regime change abroad, and he reminds us of the long history of Iranian resistance to great power interventions, as well as the unanticipated consequences of intervention.
Mossadegh's overthrow in 1953 undermined Iran's progress toward democracy and independence, shored up a dictatorial monarchy backed by the United States and ultimately strengthened the only opposition the shah could not suppress ? the Islamic opposition. Although Mossadegh's government was more popular than today's Iranian regime, it was depicted in the U.S. media as unpopular, and the coup against it was portrayed as a popular victory.
