What we did in 1953 was wrong but the Shah was very popular up until the last 10-15 years of his reign. Corruption became endemic and the Secret Police took on the Soviet character. He should have returned the country to democracy and didnt. If he had, the US intervention wouldnt appear as bad. As i remember there were serious problems with the regime that was to take power in 1953, but again overthrowing democracies should never be US policy.
