Hmmm...

This article goes into some depth about how these kinds of political coups are orchestrated secretly by the governments of countries like the US and the UK, and not always to the advantage of the people in the targeted countries...

Somebody in the comments section of this blog post (also worth reading, including the comments section) had this to say about the effects of this sort of covert action...


(Quoting another commentator) "From what I gather, Mousavi would shape economic policy so that it's more favorable towards free-market capitalism. But just because he'd want to do this don't necessarily mean he's in favor of turning Iran into a nation ruled by oligarchs, as the US is now doing. If Mousavi is anything like Parviz, and I think he is, I feel very confident that he'll push for economic reforms that will strengthen the social safety net for all Iranians and will downsize welfare for the super-rich."

Well, "free-market capitalism" means exactly that:oligopoly, the word "economic reforms" is sounding ominous, also is synonymous for the same thing. Society ruled by looters.

I had "luck" to experience, and see the arivall of "free-market economy" in my ex-country.Now, after two decades the country is:ruin, failed/vassal state, jobless and lawless country, without future.Ruled by feudal oligarchy who are just pawn. Real master is IMF and banks from Italy and Austria (German and US capital).

Regardless of interior social structure or type of societal order, today, only REALLY FREE country is one which is out or reach of IMF, WB (read Fed., and Treasury) and the like org., whose currency and bond market (if exist) are out of reach of the Wall Street speculators.

All in all, IMHO - Iranian people, and any other nation for that matter, are better off with theocracy as independent country, then being "liberated" from organization such as IMF and looters aka "investitors".
