I lost him at "human nature".

@Jshect It is one thing to cancel their contract with the British, compensate them, ask them to leave, and then drill for your own oil.
It's another to take the money they gave you to drill and export the oil they find, and then keep the oil and all their profits.
That's not 'nationalizing' - that's theft, pure and simple.

@Jshect 'And CIA went in there, like they've done all over the world, and helped stage a coup and now look at Iran today.'
Rigging one election in 1953 did NOT alter Iran's future forever.
Iran's problem has ALWAYS been the dictatorial control by the Mullahs.
THAT is Iran's biggest problem...then AND now.

@Jshect At Dictionary-dot-com...
Libertarian = libertarian
1. a person who advocates liberty, especially with regard to thought or conduct.
2. a person who maintains the doctrine of free will.
Your definition of being a libertarian seems to mean that you believe everyone should be free and live in freedom...unless a Republican president try to export it abroad.

@Jshect You seem to really want to revise history.
Saddam's forces invaded Kuwait without provocation and was heading straight towards Saudi Arabia.
Saddam Hussein was the aggressor. Not us.
-
@Jshect What you've forgotten is that we didn't give Saddam Hussein any weapons just to see what he would do with them.
Iran had stormed our embassy and taken hostages. Iraq was at war with Iran at that time.
We helped Saddam, our ally at that time, in order to defeat Iran, our enemy at that time.

@joba606 Oh, don't even get me started on Israel. I'll deal with the peaceful founding of that benevolent country tomorrow.
-
@joba606 Yes, I do think if the oil is in your country you should have a right to say "we're kicking BP out and keeping the oil for ourselves. Why would you think for a second BP has more of a right to Iranian oil, the Iran does? Do you really think a crooked oil company and and few powerful people in Iran should be the only ones benefiting from that oil. The people elected their president so he could nationalize the oil and share the wealth it generated with all of Iran.

@joba606 Iran finally had a DEMOCRACY. Maybe it wasn't perfect. Hell, our democracy is nothing but a 2 party dictatorship. They were on the right track. And CIA went in there, like they've done all over the world, and helped stage a coup and now look at Iran today. We're partly responsible for the way they are today. Now we want to go overthrow their governent again and the pattern will repeat itself. How do we know Iran won't end up like Iraq? This is just crazy.
Why is bad for a country to pursue policies that will benefit its own economy? Everyone does it, its called self-interest. Yall are hypocrites, you live in this life of luxury and get mad/outraged upon seeing what fuels it.
Pimping freedom aint easy or pretty.
