>>Well they do have some beef with the USA - which is another such lamb. Their democratically elected government was overthrown courtesy of the West, and they were saddled with that ridiculous Shah for a couple of decades. Now if someone just revoked the US constitution and set a kingdom here, with the explicit intent to make sure the Texas and Gulf oil (and profits thereof) flow into their general direction, and then the US managed to get back to be a republic again, everything would be forgotten after just one generation, right?

So? Nazis, communists, ultra-right wingers and anarchists agree that the Earth is round. That some of them are wrong on many other issues doesn't make the Earth flat.
>It is always convenient to invoke 'they just upset by past wrongs' argument to cover any actual deeds.
>By the way, shah 'existed' in Iran a bit more than couple decades. Try couple milleniums for a change.
So did the king exist in the US (also not by the will of the people), but it became a republic, right? How many countries have gone from republic to a kingdom - willingly?
