I just heard on NPR that they're doing a story about how a big chunk of the Iranians involved in that country's nuclear program were trained in the US in the 70s, back when Shah-ruled Iran was effectively our "51st state." So, once again, our ridiculous Cold War policies bit us on the ass.
Again, you ask? Yes. Consider that our funding of the Afghan rebels against Russia in the late 70s and early 80s created what eventually became Al Qaeda, it's another example of policy run amok, and coming back to hurt us. What next?
