Would ANY of this have occurred if the US had NOT removed the elected
premier of Iran in 1953? The blowback from US interference in the region
has been unending - a history most Americans don't know a thing about.
It is astounding how many people have died, how much destruction has
occurred as a direct result of US interference in the region. What

Left alone, Iran would have become a westernized secular state. Saddam
Hussein might never have come to power in Iraq No Iran-Iraq war No
invasion of Kuwait No Gulf Wars No 9/11 No US in Afghanistan No US in
Iraq A stable secular Syria Without the US/Shah alliance would the
Soviets have invaded Afghanistan? How can anyone justify US interference
in the region over the last 75 years?
