When the Iranian President kicked the British Oil Companie(s) out of Iran, what did they do? Brush it off? No, they decided to manipulate the US President to stage a coup, and establish a Pro-West Dictatorship, because the Iranian President was receiving support from the Communists, just so the British could have some of Iran's Black Gold.
THAT is the reason Iran is such a piece of crap right now.
THAT is the reason Iran hates the US right now.
But, infact, they should be hating Britain rather then the US, they should be demonizing Britain, not the US.
We were fooled, just because those damn, greedy, Brits couldn't stand being kicked out of Iran's Oil Fields.
It's all Britains fault.

The natural resources of a given nation belong to no one but the people of that nation, and should be used for the good of that nation. The oil had no place being taken by foreigners.

Yeah that's not how it works...but whatever. However to say Iran was 'pretty good' I recommend you bone up on Savak for a start or (for a starter) Robert Fisks - The Great War for Civilisation.

International Law?
So, if say, the Russian government today decides to seize all American, European, British and Chinese assets regardless of the fact that their own laws state it is the property of the individuals and companies(foreign that they might be) that own them, then that is legal?

Well, it was. It certainly wasn't an islamic dictatorship, and guess what three things Iran had at the time that it doesn't have today?
An American embassy, Burger King and KFC.
I rest my case
