*Mohammed Mossadegh* was a democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran
serving from 1951-53.  He over thrown in a US CIA sponsored coup.  Mossadegh
remains a symbol, for many in the Middle East, of freedom and Democracy.
The US CIA's involvement in undermining Democracy in Iran remains a source
of mistrust of the USA in Iran to this day.  Read about it at this link:

For those who might open their minds just a bit to learn about this rich and
varied civilization:
