Saudi Arabia may object, of course, but we cannot allow our foreign affairs to be controlled by Saudi Arabia. They are not looking out for our interests, after all.
Indeed. I'd drop Saudi Arabia for the Iranians any day.
Iran was at that time one of the most modern and advanced Muslim countries along with Turkey and Lebanon. (Yes, I know it was a dictatorship.) Then it fell into the abyss thanks to the mullahs.
Now, Turkey (the most advanced Muslim country of all, which actually has been democratic) seems to be falling into that same abyss.
Mostly the British, but with an able assist from Ike.
Funny that the Mullahs saw no reason to restore that democracy.
Ajax was all us... with prodding by the British.
No, the mullahs didn't restore it. In 1979? LOL...they were smart enough to know that the CIA would've destroyed it again. And of course, they're right.

No, Iran didn't "fall" into the abyss...the people overwhelmingly CHOSE a mullahtocracy for better or worse.
Several mid sixties articles in Field and Stream about sheep hunts in Iran. Touted a must do sportman's destination.
Obama turning his back on the Iranian people when they rose up to defy the mullahs, will go down in history as 'one' of many galactic foreign policy blunders of the novelty election winner and well spoken community organizer.
the Iranian people were far more aligned with the west than Iraq, that was an intellignec blunder under GWB. Should have invaded Iran and not Iraq. If you trust Hillary, she was all for it.
Didn't I just say I hold you unworthy of a discussion of history?
Uh-oh, we have a bad-ass over here.
Knox Harrington, you should actually feel lucky, because Wee holds a black belt in 3 branches of logic and his frontal lobes are registered as deadly weapons with the local police department. He just can't be bothered to deal with you right now - but he would, like, totally have wiped the floor with you.
Seriously, has that sort of bravado ever convinced anyone?
Some got a raw deal from fundamentalist Islam. Others may have benefited from head-to-toe burlap.
Head-to-toe is Saudi Arabia - you know, our bosom buddies who made the idiot-in-charge run his mouth against Qatar before realizing that oopsie, we have a pretty big base there.
