If the mullahs are so bad, why did the UK and US back them against the democracy of Mossadegh in the 1950s? Then Savak with CIA help slaughtered the secular left in Iran into the 1970s.

Westerners work to slaughter the secular left in a country, then use that as their entitlement to take over the country - "there is no secular force to take over".

This just happened in Syria - the West forced out a secular leader to replace him with a now celebrated al-Qaeda leader who the US had a $10 million bounty on fourteen months ago. Who is currently slaughtering every minority ethnicity in the country.

Because it was never a judgement about who is bad vs. good, but who would be best for American/British interests with zero regard for Iranians.
