Mossadegh Project Fabricated news stories (when writers simply *make stuff up*) happen. For all the lies spread about Mossadegh in the Western media, this British news item—published years before Mossadegh's death—is truly special. It begins, "I saw Mossadegh hanged today..."

John Kerry believes all the tough talk against Iran has strengthened, not weakened, the Islamic regime. The senior Senator of Massachusetts says of the 2009 election fraud protests, 'this is an Iranian moment, not an American one'.

That (abridged) quote warns not to play into the regime's hands by handing them the 'anti-imperialism' card, but no, it's unlikely Ahmadinejad would even *want* to be likened to Mossadegh.

I think an important point is being missing here. Most are confusing Iran and islam/mullah. Iran has not officially attacked but through funding of terrorism and its own mercenaries that are also being used to torment and murder our own people they are certainly a threat to not only the region but, the world. Zakaria does tend to exaggerate at ... Read Moretimes but, he is not far on his assessment. Do not be angry at him or others when they point out a bunch of murderers and savages that have been running Iran or should I say ruining Iran for the past thirty years. Do not kill the message, kill the cause of the message.

GANDHI and MOSSADEGH are heroes in India and Iran for standing up to British colonialism. Comparisons have been made by many writers and are collected here. Time magazine has named both Man of the Year. Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammad Mossadegh, and Nelson Mandela are icons of justice throughout the world.

They are of course attainable but, you raised a very important "if" and that is as you mentioned Israel and the Jewish lobby in the US. As far as the so called green movement, this is simply a ploy by the regime itself to keep the people oppupied and by no means will it bring freedom and justice for the People of Iran. Let's not forget that the ... Read Morecorrupt regime selected the candidates. We went through this with khatami and what did that acheive during two terms? Nothing. So even if mousavi became president, what was he going to do any different? Again, nothing. The only thing that this green movement has accompolished so far is the awakeining of the people and to represent the true face of this miserable regime. The only solution is a regime change and the downfall of the mullahs. How will that take place, it is to be seen. If they push the US and its allies on the nuclear issue than we will see a regime change much faster.

In January 1981, Safire predicted of Iran, "The mullahs are vulnerable and will one day be overthrown...Our reasoned self-interest is to actively encourage the emergence of right-wingers to keep the oil flowing west.

This has been on the record for decades, and common knowledge among historians/scholars of American foreign relations. But it is key to get politicians to acknowledge the event.

Right! The need to keep revisiting these old subjects, with all the tedium that goes with it, diminishes in proportion to how properly they are understood and addressed in the form of ►meaningful change◄ — but it has to reach the mainstream too, not just the intellectual elite.

An excellent recollection of speeches - thank you! Furthermore, may I bring you to the attention of a fantastic book written by Stephen Kinzer "All the Shah's Men". The only fault with Kinzer is his very liberal approach to the subject.

What is more sad about the decline of Mossadegh and his 1953 democracy was the fact that Iranians fell for the Anglo-trap of bringing down the PM Mossadegh, hence, consequently, bringing an end to their democracy, just as much as the youth in Iran are falling for a liberal misconception of democracy these days.
