Regardless what the facts are re the election, can anyone seriously suggest that the u.s. is not deeply involved in "diestabalizing" Iran, and using tactcs, in fact , hauntingly similar to those kused by the Eisenhower Administration in overthrowing Mossedegh. People write about u.s. foreign policy as though it has no history, or that history is irrelevant.
