Yeah, YOUR sources. That's why I used the Times article, so you couldn't cry left wing media bias. So are you saying that something in that article is untrue?
The New York Times is not biased? You have to be kidding me right? I provide unbiased sources and you provide an article from a News Organization that engaged in a campaign of ignorance, disinformation and character assassination against Bush thinking it is credible?
The problem with your source is not what facts are contained in them, but the major facts deliberately left out in an effort to impugn the American Government for the actions that led to the Shah taking back political power in a country which he maintained a significant level of political power and previously held.
It is as absurd to ignore the actions of the Communist controlled Soviet Union in the region and pretend the British were not complicit in also protecting their oil companies investments in the region.
Oh and I don't have a "hate America first mentality", I have a - hate when America does stupid **** - mentality.
Your “America does stupid” mentality requires the willful ignorance or denial of all other nations’ stupidity.
Once again, the reason is simple and obvious; you only like America if it is run by Socialists who want to drag this nation into the same morass as Europe currently finds itself in which fits your narrow partisan political views. It’s not the facts that matter to you, but how you can distort the facts to fit your “hate America first” mentality.
This mentality seems to be much different than yours which seems to be - sweep the naughty stuff under the rug and pretend it never happens, salute the flag and call a democrat a marxist.
Where am I sweeping anything under the rug? You are free to prove this with facts; but again, you won’t be able to find any.
I prefer the TRUTH and placing FACTUAL history into its proper context; something you obviously hate doing in order to promote your narrow partisan political views and “hate America first” attitudes.
I do salute the American flag in recognizing that all of America’s “naughty stuff” aside, it has been the greatest nation in the world which promotes the idea of freedom from tyranny, being a nation of laws and human rights and dignity and the freedom of choice free markets represent to it’s citizens versus the contrary. It is the shining beacon that the worlds people have escaped to in order to share in that dream; one which their own nations would not or could not provide.
You want to focus on America’s mistakes to promote an “anti-American” rhetoric that serves a political view that freedom of choice is bad unless it fits your narrow partisan agenda and ignores the participation and actions other nations have had in the decisions America has had to confront, engage in and compromise with.
Yes, we have done some things that were mistaken; but the goal has always been to promote Democracy, freedom and human dignity; things that are wanting in most other nations.
