Democracy Hit and Run

In Iran 1953  Mohammad Mossadegh was changing oil policy, so that his country would benefit not the foreign companies. Mohammad was even times magazines man of the year, but since he was changing the oil policies the U.S. was not pleased with him. They went to take him out, this wasn't like the other times where they would send E.H.M. to convince him, instead they sent one CIA member Kermit Roosevelt, and with just a few million dollars Mossadegh was overthrown. The evidence that this happened is Shah of Iran who was originally hated by his people, now he is replacing someone who was changing Iran for the better, and the oil policies go back to how they were originally.

In chapter 10- Panama's President and Hero we learn that the Panama river was being worked on since before it belonged to the U.S., but it suffered many tragedies which cause the project to seize construction. Roosevelt took interest in completing the project with American "help." Panama was held by Colombia since Roosevelt wanted the build the canal  he took it. Then suddenly a family who had ruled for eight generations no longer ruled Panama, now instead they had a new president who climbed the military ladder, and got elected. Torrijos was neither a communist or anti communist follower he did things at his on pace, and he was looking to hep the poor so he needed money that the U.S. could provide, in exchange for something else. It was said that the canal zone of Panama has a school for tropical warfare.
