Marshall Plan & Possible Sources of Enmity

Submitted by IBK (United States), Aug 16, 2006 at 01:08

What about the Marshall Plan after WWII?

Also, might have enmity in Iran (and elsewhere in middle east) have some root in a CIA toppling of Shah Palevi's predecessor who, a recent documentary showed, was a secular, popularly elected (I recall) leader?

Also, have you heard about a '30-year old' plan - a strategy formulated and passed down generations of neo-cons - to somehow, someday gain control over some large oil-producer in mideast to protect our vital, strategic energy interests in this unstable region?
