August 19 reminds us the American coup against Iranian Popular PM Mossadiq in 1953.
After half a century this act of American government is remembered by Iranians with hatred.
As a nationalist leader mossadiq had a true influence on Iranian attempt towards democracy. He was a key person in our request of limited power for the ruler, the request which is now a day repeated in the country. We could gain more easily into the concept of democracy if only the American rulers of that time had left us alone with mossadiq. But alas it didn't took place that way, the dictator had been brought back by aid of CIA and along with him the whole concept of dictatorship was suddenly back again.
This historical event reminds me of a similar situation in our current time , when an internal attempt towards democracy is hijacking by external powers and is going to be misleaded against the national will.
I hope this time my extremist colleagues don't repeat the past mistake, we can't trust external powers in the liberation issue ..... Well they don't do it only for sake of god! they want something in return and it would be our freedom to manage our own business .
