    There were approximately 200,000 mullahs throughout Iran. I'm not interested in Cuba, where the end goal was the creation of large state farms.
    You are defending religious feudalism against agrarian reform meant to benefit the common people.

    I'm defending common logic vs your fantasy.
    The US accommodated even coups to undo the real estate theft on Cuba. The Mosques did the same.
    Only difference is that the US's attempts failed.

    And you not caring about Cuba = not caring why people commit a coup to push your agenda based on nothing much. Even your own source drags in all I have to say about it.

    Not at all the same. It is time to stop blaming others for history and choices made by Iranians.

    It's pretty much the same, since it's also mentioned endlessly in your own source.
    While you just picked 1 line. lol

    You say this, while the CIA said it was their choice to make a coup happen.
    The US got blood on their hands. It's far too late to whitewash what your government agencies already admitted to.

    Please see the more recent research cited in #22.
    ". . . . In recent years, new interpretations of the coup have called into question the accuracy of various U.S. archival records and first-person accounts, discounting the importance of the CIA and British intelligence role in the operation and casting doubt on any connection between Iranian clerics and the Western powers.[2] The principal aim of the latter contention is to bolster the case that Iranians, including leading mullahs, acted essentially (if not entirely) on their own in bringing about Mosaddeq’s ouster. . . .

    This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

    Revisionist balderdash works well on the feeble-minded, as George Orwell pointed out a very long time ago, but those of us who are still impressed by truth alone cannot be fooled.

    Do not forget that Bush Baby Junior said, "No one has ever suggested that Saddam had WMDs". Now look at the growing number of Americans who believe that.

    I don't see anything in your reply contesting what I wrote with a source.

    Horrible happening. A reminder that the human race is still capable of horrendous atrocities. Vigilance against evil is still required.

    If you break the law you have to expect punishment. If she was murdered (and it is doubtful that she was) then the punishment would have exceeded the crime :arrow: but she did break the law, so she is guilty. Julian Assange broke no law yet look at what he's being exposed to. So for that reason ..... I agree, "the human race is still capable of horrendous atrocities. Vigilance against evil is still required".

    If a woman is in prison... and she is under brutal evil & invasive police investigation that includes inserting objects into the woman's body against her will, so you're right, she could have a heart attack.
    That's what many many Iranians testified that it happened to them in the nasty Iranian prisons.

    What makes you think you know more than the official reports? It states. HEART ATTACK. By the way, she disobeyed the law, and that makes her a criminal. Of course, you rely on the CIA and everyone knows they never lie or embellish any incident. Right? Like the chemical attacks on civilians by Assad, for example. Or the thousands upon thousands of WMDs strewn all over the Iraki desert. Oh! And let's not forget the CIA report about the female American POW in Irak who was tortured, beaten, and raped, not! Yeah, it's good that you have access to the almighty truth from Monday to Sunday on any given week, month, or year. :eyepopping:

    So ... Assad the butcher did not drop Chemical barrels on Syrian citizens ?
    And the other filthy Arab butcher Saddam Hussain didn't kill tens of thousands Iraqians ?
    Don't expand the Palestinian wall of lies to other Arab areas

    Correct. Are you willing to debate it? It's a CIA lie just like the WMD hoax and the American POW woman who the CIA says was raped by the Irakis. Do you have any comments you'd like to share? :bored:

    Assad killed a lot of people that way. Saddam killed Kurdish citizens of his own country that way... by the thousands.

    No, he didn't.
    Yes, it is a lie.
    "Must"? You "should" believe the facts. I'm only stating the facts.
    What does that have to do with it?

    You're the one who's saying, "Assad is a loving full of care and joy leader."
    Make up your mind.

    The woman was a criminal. There's no cynicism in that.
    She died of a heart attack. There's no cynicism in that.
