Up until just over a year ago, I had no idea of the US and British involvement in the coup that essentially got rid of democracy in that country. Since then every time I see a bit of news or someone being interviewed and asked about Iran, I wonder how many actually know that? My guess that if you asked those Fox news reps and Rosie O'donnells out there, they probably wouldn't believe you and give you the classic Ann Coulter response, "I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?"

Especially the way that 'democracy' is bandied around as being justification for an invasion and ongoing occupation. Interesting that two nations would use force to instill democracy in today's Iraq and yet used force in the past to remove it from Iran.

Yeah, it's the lifestyle of the West that they hate
