Video Showing: Life of Dr. Mossadegh

by Dan Bacher (danielbacher [at] hotmail.com)
The U.S. coup in Haiti and the war in Iraq must be seen in the context of a pattern of covert and overt military interventions. The 1953 CIA/British Intelligence overthrow of Dr.  Mossadegh, Prime Minister of Iran, set the pattern for dozens and dozens of other bloody interventions from Chile to Afghanistan. This video promises to be interesting, plus it's free!

The public is invited to a free video showing of a documentary about the life of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh.  Dr.  Mossadegh, who was Prime Minister of Iran, became Time Magazine’s Man of the Year for 1951.  He was overthrown in 1953 in a violent coup organized by the British Intelligence and the CIA, after nationalizing the oil and implementing other reforms.  This coup created anti-American feelings and set the stage for the 1954 coup in Guatemala and many others that followed.
