Its not like Iran was a well running democracy, then the US overthrew it&amp;#x27;s president and set up a monarch. I&amp;#x27;m not defending the US&amp;#x27;s actions,just pointing out your comment seems to be implying Iran didn&amp;#x27;t have a monarch and then the US installed one.  It&amp;#x27;s more like the US supported one part of the government in not undertaking necessary reforms, even though those reforms were popular, which then shifted power away from another part of the government.</text></comment>
