It was an exercise in anti-democracy when the US deposed the democratically elected leader Mossadegh and installed the shah. It was also an anti-democratic exercise (in Iran and in the US) when Reagan's henchmen negotiated with the mullahs to hold the US hostages until he had won the presidency.

If Kegsbreath said 2+2=4 I would agree with him, even though being on the same side of anything with him is uncomfortable for me.
