wait….are any americans aware that the cia overthrew the democratically-elected premier of iran in 1953 because he wouldn’t concede to western oil demands….and how that coup was the reason for the shah’s return to power, the iranian revolution, and the resulting fundamentalist dictatorship…..like, america literally dissolved iranian democracy and no one knows about it???
Some of us know and keep poking other people with this knowledge. Not very many people want to listen or remember it, though.
Short memories and political agendas. Bah. 😦
Our politicians only really like democracy when it’s convenient for our corporate oligarchs.
