Salon: Iran was not Jimmy Carter’s fault.

If we want to blame someone for this “mad regime” why not Dwight Eisenhower, who was president in 1953 when a U.S-British backed coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh?” Read ’Rooftops of Tehran‘, by Mahbod Seraji, for the counterpoint to any pro-Shah sentiments, and see what the Iranian people actually believed. A work of fiction, but congruent with what I know through friends and acquaintances.
