Opening discussion of the tortured nation of Iran. Naturally, argueably, the most prosperous, educated, and democratic nation in the Middle East....which we overthrew the legitimate and democratically-elected government of [read, money and oil over people and democracy] and caused the rise of the Mullahs and what is the theocratic state of Iran today. While it seems the yesterday's elections were fraudulent - this was not due to the USA...but perhaps a kind of blowback on the back of blowback and a grandchild of our making.....thoughts? comments? speculation? [or blowing back at the blowback!]
