OFF TOPIC ALERT!!!

2- Why, in 1953, did the US administration overthrow the Iran's national government under Dr Mohammad Mosaddegh and go on to support the Shah's dictatorship?

This is the root cause of all the issues we have with Iran. However, back in the '50s it looked like Mosaddegh was going commie and Eisenhower could not let that happen to an oil producing state. Also Dr Mosaddegh was trying to overthrow the Shah.

Once we (US and UK) put the Shah back on his throne Iran became a police state for 16 years. However the Sha did create the "white Revolution" which was a series of great reforms designed to transform Iran into a modern 20th century state. However this did not sit well with the fundamentalist clerics and we all know what happened next...


BACK ON TOPIC!!!

Canadian torture:
1) Sitting through a week long Curling match while being forced to listen to Ann Murray and Alanis Morrisette!
2) Being forced to listen to Alanis at any time
3) Being forced to listen to Neil Young whine about how horrible the USA is
4) Having to listen to Rush without any beer

The Shah's mistake was not killing all the cleric's.

Screw the UN, if I were Canada I wouldn't reply. I'd walk out and never come back. I wish we would kick the UN's worthless butts out of this country too.

Is'nt Celine Dion a Candian?
God that has got to be a human rights abuse

Celine Dion is torture!

Can you imagine a duet with Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion?

Just thinking about it is making me nauseous.

That would definitely merit Court of Human Rights action.

BTW, LUVMB, Rush rules! So does beer.

Oh, them. I suppose that they qualify as rock. Just as much as Yes.

Yes and Genesis, two stalwart bands of the english prog rock genre, pretentious and overblown.

I can't believe I forgot about Celine!
I thing Babs and Celine together make up a WMD!

I agree that Rush is cool, but you need BEER when you listen to them! The torture is not having BEER

1) I agree with the Ann Murray
2) Alanis is OK.
3)Neil Young actually loves the US and I believe he lives there now. He just doesn't agree the current govt
4) RUSH are awesome. Greatest rock trio of all time. Beer is awesome too. RUSH and Beer. Very awesome

Back to the thread. We (The US and Canada) need to stop listening to this goof (and other goofs) in Iran. I am a proud Canadian and I live outside of Vancouver. I have no idea what these allegations are about. Cheers!
