Oh, I see....Russia and China are the good guys...?
And the Iranians, I suppose they're CIA backed?
All three, marvelous examples of how foreign policy should be prosecuted.

hmm let's see about Iran... if the CIA hadn't installed the Shah it wouldn't be the mess it is now. so you could Iran as it is now was created by the CIA.

As I recall, BP had at least an instigating role in tossing out Mossadegh?

I don't recall in recent history where the Americans killed off 20+ million of their own people like those warm and fuzzie Russians and Chinese.
I think you forget all those countries that fell under Russian control after the war. They built walls to keep people from entering their countries because they we such paradises on earth or was it to keep their people from fleeing. I get confused.

Highflyer,

Were you actually educated in the UK? Regardless, I find your knowledge of history pretty repugnant. The words - ignorant and revisionist - come to mind. Maybe it was one of those madrassas in the UK that you attended. Perhaps your intellect simply isn't able to keep pace with your convictions. Either way, the freedom to express your opinions as you have comes from the very same nation that you now disparage. Do you think you would be having these same conversations if they were in post WW2 German or Japanese? How about post Cold War Russian?

Someone here needs to tuck his chin in...
