Apples and oranges.Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh had popular support.The United Kingdom and the United States decided to overthrow him because he nationalized Iran's oil.Then they installed the Shah, and Mosaddegh's supporters were rounded up, imprisoned, tortured or executed.And this is why they hate us.It's called blowback.Ask Ron Paul.
