Mosadegh was the left over from the Ghajar Dynasty and he always hated the Pahlavi Dynasty- The Ghajar were always in favor of British.......

The Shah of Iran Was a great Man and a Great KIng- We Will Never Forgive Jimmy Carter. Long Live The Pahlavi

[ashvoj]

Long LIve the compassionate and patriot Shah of Iran. Mossadegh was a traitor, a US/British Puppet.

Kinzer begins his premise on the flawed belief that Mossadegh was a "democrat" and democratically elected. This is very far from the truth. As an American liberal, Kinzer wants to find explainable and simplistic reasons and explanations for his thesis, which is originally colored by his leftist view of the world and of US foreign relations. In his own words he didn't know much about Iran, so he fell for any bits and piece of angry propaganda he came across. His book must be unscholarly.

Mr. Kinzer you are not objective at all. Why?

[kaveh222]

Kinzer is NIAC member and an IRI apologist totally misinformed about Iran.

[kaveh222]

As with other Iran Lobby initiatives, CNAPI and its fellow advocates for direct talks with Iran’s mullahs have made inroads onto Capitol Hill. As described above, one key ally there is Minneapolis’ Muslim Democratic congressman, Rep. Keith Ellison, who hosted a “Public Forum on U.S. Foreign Affairs with Iran” in Minneapolis in May 2008. Ellison’s co-panelist was NIAC’s Trita Parsi.

[kaveh222]

For instance, a simple online check shows that at the same time the Payvand Iran News website carried approving accounts of Kinzer’s pro-Iran activism on Capitol Hill, including his meetings with congressmen and support for a 2008 Congressional Resolution (Con Res 321) that called for direct diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Iran,81 Payvand’s homepage also carried links to Tehran regime media outlets such as Baztab, Ettela’at, Jomhouri Eslami, Quds, Kayhan, and IRNA.82

[kaveh222]

Kinzer may or may not be aware of the Tehran regime links and agenda among his CNAPI colleagues – or know that CNAPI official partner CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate and unindicted co-conspirator in a federal terror funding case.

@paryazad,Nothing Kinser says is accurate.Many Iranian historians including Dr Matini,Dr Maleki,Mr Shamshiri,Mr MirFetros&even Mosedegh's former acting Foreign Minister Meftah have written books on the August1953national uprising but no1in west is interested to examin them.Amongst his pack ofLIES Kinser claims that Mosadegh was democraticaly elected,sorry but NO PRIMEMINISTER in Iran was ever elected as Iran's1906constitution has given the Shah as his duty to appoint&dismiss all PrimeMinisters.

@omgitsgrantobrian,U cannot hide history but U can rewrite history as Churchill once said"History is written by the victors".It would be doubly nice if U get a communist US-hater lobbyist for the Mullahs like Stephen Kinser to rewrite that history.He has made millions out of Iranian suffering.He is a demon possessed animal that had no mercy or humanity for the grieving Pahlavi family when in last Jan Prince AliReza lost the battle with depration.He simply hates the Shah&any1on the side of USA.
