and the only way you can change Hamas/Hezbollah charters is to work out a peace agreement with the Palestinians.

You talk about what Islam is, it was democracy in Iran for one until our CIA overthrew it in 1953 and installed the torture loving Shah to power.

That hell on Earth reality for the Iranian people is what fed extremist or fundamentalist Islam in Iran to grow in the first place.

We did that because Iran's democracy was going to nationalize their oil industry.

All that shit came back to haunt us along with the rest of the world and no doubt contributed to Reagan's rise to power as Ted Koppel on ABC counted each and every day that the hostages were held, keeping our whole nation emotionally hostage as well.

Reagan of course started "trickle down economics" which over the past near half century created great wealth disparity and in turn fed *rump's rise to power.

So our democracy and Israel's is now threatened because we overthrew a democracy in Iran for the sake of oil.
