Author of "All the Shah's Men" interview with Democracy Now: great!

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/25/1534210

In an interview with "Democracy Now!", Stephen Kinzer, author of "All the Shah�s Men," talks about the 1953, CIA-orchestrated coup that overthrew the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Kinzer says the coup sent a message that the U.S. "Wanted dictatorship in the Middle East, and a lot of people in the Middle East got that message very clearly and that helped to lead to the political trouble we face there today." www.cursor.org

this book is an incredible read...everyone must read it..."All The shah's Men" too know the signifacence of what has lead up to 911...when you increase your knowledge you increase your sorrow"(and shame);7

and we wonder why they hate us...in the early 1950's they loved the US and so did I (ahhh but i was so much older then...i'm younger than that now)

2. Thanks for the link, I heard most of it, and was looking for this

This dark period, in which information is hard to come by during the Hover / McCarthy period, does not have much info on it. The build up and enabling of the USSR and its scare, people didn't communicate about these type of things that much.
