The bogeyman that is Communism.
That is a first - even for the likes of you.
I've heard it all now.

It wasn't more to do with oil deposits, per chance??
You know, all that stuff that goes to fuel your economy.

Instead of posting inaccurate stuff about communism and how your country did us all a favour, when you were only doing yourselves a favour, I suggest that you ought to read some history.
And not the type of revisionism which tells you that Iran was under threat of Communism either.

By suggesting that because Britain/France/Germany did things in other countries, that this entitles your country to do the same things in other countries.

As I suggested earlier, no one from any of those nations is in here trying talk up what they did or are doing, in other countries.
You on the other hand are trying to justify what your country did and does when meddling in the affairs of other countries, as outlined by me and several other posters.

And no one else from those former imperialist nations, such as France/Britain/German, are in here trying to defend their countries presence in other nations, either.

You on the other hand are trying to justify your country's meddling.

Once again you're wrong. Show me where I've justifed US meddling.

Well when someone from those imperialist nations comes in here and starts trying to justify what their country was doing by being present in other nations - I will not hesitate to condemn them.

Sure. Blame American involvement and dismiss any european meddling in the world. European involvement is just as responsible as American involvement in creating the mess that that is the middle east.
