ORIGINAL: erieangel Another idiotic, misguided move of the American government backing the wrong leader. Reminds me of the time the US helped the Shah of Iran regain power there. It led to the Iranian hostage crisis and the oppressive government they have now. If our government had just left things alone, Iran would be a true democracy today. But of course, much of reinstating the Shah had to do with American oil interests. Virtually everything that happens in that part of the world has to do with American oil (or other private company economic interests) and very little to do with actual American security interests. Agreed. We just keep getting the wrong type of people in govt. They all look alike, they all sound alike, they all think they're "smart", they all dress alike and they're all after U.S. Taxpayer dollars!. Boy, we need CHANGE in Washington.
