With Mossadegh, the last hope of Iran to become a free country with the rule of law dashed out.

Now western nations are accusing terrorism ignoring that they are the ones who has seeded the plant of dictatorship in Iran!

Iran is not a country with lots leaders like Mossadegh

Very informative... I've read about it in the past and am sometimes shocked most Americans don't understand the real cause of troubled relations b/ween US and Iran.

EsotericDesi: Nothing surprise's me anymore of what the American people do not know.You ask the "man on the street" who is Vice President,or where their own State capital is,and they don't know.The people of America have been systematically dumbed down and drained dry of any cognitive ability to think.

Esoteric: the real cause of the current "troubled relations" bet US and the present regime in Iran is one thing ,and the coup of 1953 against the popular democratically elected prime minister Dr Mossadegh is something else.

mossadegh fought for the nationalization of oil from the brit ,and he won.He gained the respect and love of the Iranian people .

The relgious fundamentalists then( who are in power now),actively opposed him and joined the conspiracy and the coup to overthrow him.
