In case anyone didn't notice BEFORE the election, the anti-American left wing "establishment" media is once again giving the LIE to their fraud that they "support the troops". Like their slimy traitor-hero John Kerry, they will STAB AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE BACK AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY... apnews.myway.com Beating the media in an election won't suffice. Rather, Jennings, Brokaw and all their HENCHMEN belong behind BARBED WIRE for the duration of the war with subhuman Islam. ROUND EM UP!!!...

Mossadegh was appointed the Prime Minister, after the original Prime minister was murdered. After Mossadegh nationalized the oil industry, Britain placed Iran on an economic embargo. This resulted in a major downturn in the Iranian economy. Fearing that opponents (foreign and domestic) were gathering strength in the Legislature, it was Mossadegh who dissolved Parliament - not the Shah. You write about a 1906 Constitution, and skip the part, where Reza Pahlavi (in 1921) overthrew the Government (a military coup) - first making himself the Minister of War (in charge of the military), then Prime Minister. Or that 4 years later, Pahlavi, was declared the new Shah. Would a military dictator really make himself a "ceremonial ruler only"? Was Mossadegh popular? Sure. Is he still popular? Sure. Was he democratic? Sure, if you believe he was trying to become a dictator to save democracy. re: "According the 1906 Iranian constitution, the Shah was supposed to be a ceremonial ruler only, the nation a constitutional monarchy. National officials were elected right up to the 1952 coup."
