> Really? The current regime in Iran and the fate of that country was a direct consequence of exactly what came before that. And that throughout the Middle East.

And your opinion is a direct consequence of your experience and education. You still have agency, right?

I agree with your general point in this thread, but this accusation is unfair. There was no ad hominem. It was sort of a clumsy metaphor. This rules-whinging is even more obnoxious when it's completely misguided.

Last I checked, the US did not use guns to topple Mosaddegh.
