<< So, after the blessing of at least knowing the existence of the Shah of the Shahs, what about your view on Mossadegh?? >>

Mossadegh was a traitor to Iran, and he succeeded in briefly overthrowing the legitimate government of the Shah. With America's help, those loyal to the Shah took back the government, and Mossadegh was brought to justice, served time in prison. This was of great benefit to the future of Iran.

An important factor: Due to America's high standard of law and order, Mossadegh was not harmed. He was captured, not murdered. He was given a fair trial, for treason, and convicted.

As a result America helped to bring great economic and social improvements to Iran, which, of course, President Carter succeeded in destroying, when he got into office.
