Bentway is repeating a liberal lie: Mossadegh wasn't elected, he was appointed by the Shah.
This is what bentway posted: They had a legal, upright democratic election, which our CIA now ADMITS we overthrew and had our puppet Shah put in in 1953.
Everything liberals say is a lie.
"..Mossadegh was a wealthy aristocratic prince of the deposed Qajar dynasty. He was not elected by the people, he was appointed by the Shah."
Bill Ayers is a Historical Illiterate

And oh -- the 1953 "coup" story that the left has made up and that the British have allowed to continue was actually the work of MI6 to guarantee British ownership of Iran’s oil, It was not the CIA -- the U.S. had no interests in Iran. Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh was a wealthy aristocratic prince of the deposed Qajar dynasty. He was not elected by the people, he was appointed by the Shah. Iranian and CIA documents are declassified, but the British government has refused to do the same.
My homeland Iran was divided between the Russians and British imperialists for over a hundred years and had no sovereignty. Professor Bill Ayers should learn that it was only America that stood by the abused little country called Iran and secured her sovereignty after WWII. Yes, America helped Iranians to continue making the dreams of their 1906 constitutional revolution in hopes of modernity, prosperity, and sovereignty that became reality in the 1970s.
Yes, we had problems with the jihadism of radical Shi’a clergy and the KGB supported communist Tudeh party, but Iranians were moving in the right direction as a member of the international community, with equal rights for women, free education K through PhD, a secular justice system, a vibrant economy, and a self-confident society.
Professor Ayers does not understand that the ruling Islamic clergies are anti-American not because of the military power, but because America represents the power of the people.
This is how America loses friends.
