American Left a Very Good Impression in Iran

Howard Baskerville was an American missionary. He came to Iran and he identified with their plight. But the US representative in Iran begged him not to join the fight. Roosevelt paid gangs of Iranians through people who controlled criminal protection rackets, pay them to go out on the street and cause chaos. Mosadec refused to send the police out because he said, well, they're peaceful demonstrators. And all of this was designed to create confusion and to signal that Mosadec was the source of the violence in the country. It's really wild to think that this guy would have laid down his life for Iran's constitutional revolution.
