It's characteristic of Western media to see only one side of the picture: Iran's nuclear program, U.S. vulnerabilities in Iraq and Afghanisat, etc. -- issues projected to instill fear in the hearts and minds of the world when mentioning Iran. But where is mention of the U.S. and Allied occupation of Iran in WWII, the CIA coup in 1953, the humiliating Staus of Forces Agreement of 1963, the U.S. and Western military, economic and chemical warfare assistance to Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, the downing of Iran Air 655 with its 290 passengers in 1988, the 30 years of increasingly sightened sanctions? Who, you self-centered? You bet.
