[Video] History of U.S. Intervention in Iran - 1953 Until Present

Might have something to do with the whole "you'd be speaking German or Russian if we'd just sat on our asses" thing.

On the whole the video isn't bad despite the normative assessments included. However, you have to put these decisions into the context of the Cold War, not present day, and distinguish between what was (in 1953) and what is (in 2012) as far as Iranian "democracy" goes. Is it wrong to support democratic movements in Iran today? I don't think so. Is it the same as removing a democratically elected leader in Iran in 1953? Uh, no.

As far as changing perspectives of leadership, Obama officially addressed the need to both acknowledge our past actions and move forward with the current Iranian regime in 2009.
