1953, Operation Ajax. Obama just apologized for this earlier this year. Some wonder why we have so much trouble with mid-eastern countries like Iran. There are no clean hands in any of this but we must take a realistic look at our foreign policy, especially of late, about why we are having problems. Our current policy, is basically "I don't like the way my neighbor arranges his furniture so when he leaves for work Ill just sneak in and rearrange it while he is at work." Well at some point the neighbor is going to get angry and retaliate!
