Brother, I respect your response. I hold no reason or desire to attack you or anyone else at all. I am not the United States of America.

They are in the habit of doing that - at least since 1953 - their invasion of Iran. It was an elected government and no one was oppressing anyone.

This sura is about "mediating" between people. I didn't realise that we need the entire war machinery, heavy tanks, the fastest aircraft and tonnes of depleted uranium to mediate between people. So, from today, I should start reading "mediation" whenever a country is invaded?

Please do tell me what we should do with the word "Invasion". Shall we not have it deleted from the dictionary as it has become a bit redundant?

Francis J. Gavin is an international security fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University:

Politics, Power, and U.S. Policy in Iran, 1950-1953
"On 19 August 1953, elements of the Iranian army, acting on orders from the Shah and
with covert support from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), deposed Mohammed
Mossadegh as the Prime Minister of Iran. Mossadegh�s overthrow climaxed more than two
years of crisis stemming from Iran�s clash with Great Britain over the nationalization of the
British owned Anglo-Iranian Oil company. Early in the crisis, the United States was
sympathetic to Mossadegh�s nationalization program, and went to great lengths to convince the
British to negotiate a fair settlement with Iran. Throughout 1951 and 1952, the U.S.
government steadfastly refused to sanction any unilateral attempt by Great Britain to end the
crisis through non-diplomatic means."

Geo-politics is rarely as simplistic as Sasha (Whisper) implies.
