    he nationalized oil resources.

    The CIA has publicly admitted for the first time that it was behind the notorious 1953 coup against Iran's democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, in documents that also show how the British government tried to block the release of information about its own involvement in his overthrow.

    Won't the US governments logic on islam and terrorism get exposed soon? I mean, come on - Saudiarabia and USA has a extremely good relationships. And in Saudiarabia people are way more religious and fundamental than they are in Iraq or Iran. It seems like countries with a nationalized oil is a country that they have to free and bring democracy in.

    When it comes to money, everyone have the same religion
