The young generation of Iran doesn't buy into the whole blaming the US thing for something that happened 70 years (1 generation!!) ago - which the US tried to install a more westernized leader. A lot of anti-US people with agenda wants the world to think otherwise. Case in point:

- tacocataco 3y agoSounds like the US can coup anyone it wants then and just wait 70 years! No worries all good!
- loeg 3y agoDo you blame modern Germans for WW2? Why?
- NoraCodes 3y agoThe Nazi government was overthrown and its ideology outlawed. Not so with the United States.
- loeg 3y agoIn the US, the Truman and Eisenhower administrations are long out of power. Most Americans alive at the time this happened are dead now. Certainly the ones who were in power at the time.
- NoraCodes 3y agoThat is not the same thing as systematically eradicating the institutions of power that allowed the atrocity to happen.
- aapl88889 3y agoDo you want democracy and capitalism to be outlawed? What ideology?
- NoraCodes 3y agoI didn't say that. The question was, what's the difference between the relationships between the Nazis and the contemporary nation of Germany, and the Americans who committed crimes of imperialism in the 20th century and the contemporary nation of America. That's the difference.
- basilgohar 3y agoUS foreign policy has not deviated from this same kind of practice one iota as Freedom of Information Act releases continue to confirm. We only find out long after the guilty administrations have moved on, except if leaked by Snowdens, Mannings, or Winners sooner.
- ArnoVW 3y agoNit: one generation is the time between birth and reproduction. So depending on culture 20-35 years. 70 years is more than 2 generations.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y ago> which the US tried to install a more westernized leader Taking issue with your use of "westernized" here - it's either misleading or deliberately ambiguous. The US just wanted a less "socialist" leader, similar to how they favored autocrats in Central and South America over communist/socialist leaders, democracy be damned.
