Are Republicans Unaware of US/Iran History?

Not to nitpick, but you are wrong on the premise that Iranian oil makes it way into America.

Iran's oil infrastructure has been deteriorating for years and as such they have been reliant on their number one customer for capital to update their oil industry, China. This is why the idea of Iran actually having a nuclear power plant or two makes sense (provided they were actually using it for energy as opposed to wiping Israel off the map).....

This is a country awash in oil that has to import coal for its electricity.

You are right about the CIA overthrowing Mossadegh and no it did not happen under Truman. It was proposed while he was in power but wasn't approved until Ike was President.

The reason it is so extremist right now is that public meetings could only take place in mosques, once there the clerics indoctrinated them to the point of fanaticism so when the Shah was deposed the Ayatollahs were already in control of the people.

Your last statement says it all. They are all in it together. the Republicans can call for something all they want. It means nothing. The conservatives I know want him to make a statement in support of fair honest elections and nothing more.
