Speaking of shining beacon,



TomDelay(R) once called the business people of the Marianas Islands a "shining light of the Republican party"....

The Marianas, where immigrants who thought they were going to the US to work make clothes labeled Made in America. They are slaves who are forced into sex and forced to have abortions.....maybe that's one reason some hate us.

Well, the problem for me was that I had to stop at your first example of Iran. If that one was a bad example then how many others were going to be bad.

The removal of Mossadegh was a British initiative.
