Teddy Roosevelt's grandson, Kermit, was the CIA agent in charge of doing it. He wrote a book about it, which you can still buy. The Brits had almost no input in doing it, nor in screwing up Iran between 1953 and 1979 and the revolution there. Propping up the Shah all those years was a US policy and the US is entirely responsible for the disaster that ensued. Now epic dumbass George W Bush has compounded the problem by handing over to America's mortal enemies the world's second-largest oil reserve in Iraq, something described by an Iranian Ayatollah as a "dream come true."

Are you seriously trying to claim some sort of victory in our argument? I've been beating you like a gong since we started arguing in this forum and will continue to do so as long as we do. A couple of posts ago you were reduced to claiming that you were fine with the US putting a bunch of terrorists who blew up a US embassy in charge in Iraq.

You got us into it...England fucked up and England left it to the US to fix. You tried to draw us in earlier but Truman didn't buy into your bullshit and Ike did ONLY because Iran was going to seek aid from the USSR because England blockaded Iran and left their economy hurting BECAUSE BP is a bunch of tight asses and they were looking to screw over the Iranians from the get go. How is that NOT your fault? How can you not see how you specifically drew the United States into this mess and NOW you're bitching about it which is absolutely ridiculous.


Mexicans don't suicide bomb us brother and they are mainly Catholics and their culture is closer to the Western culture than the radical islamic people you guys grow in your country.


You've been beaten AGAIN, give up
