[Captain Kirk]

or example, Paul repeatedly cites as aggression U.S. government actions that helped to topple and replace the Iranian regime of Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953. However, Paul rarely mentions these days (as he did on Dec. 3, 2002) that the U.S. and Britain did so "to prevent nationalization of Iranian oil."

The author can't get his facts straight. The only company taken over was British Petroleum. It had already been nationalized under the Labour govenrment. Thus, it was government owned BEFORE Mossadegh took it over, just as it was after the Iraqis took it over.

Excellent point. But the socialist anti-Paulites wouldn't want to point that out...socialism helps their globalist agenda.
