Michael Gass, Truthout: "On August 19, 1953, pro-Shah supporters in Iran staged a coup on the Iranian government that was planned, organized and supported by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British Intelligence. Iranians lived under the brutal rule of Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi for the next 25 years until the Iranian Revolution in 1979."

America and the Dictators: From Ngo Dinh Diem to Hamid Karzai

Alfred W. McCoy, TomDispatch.com: "The crisis has come suddenly, almost without warning. At the far edge of American power in Asia, things are going from bad to much worse than anyone could have imagined. The insurgents are spreading fast across the countryside. Corruption is rampant. Local military forces, recipients of countless millions of dollars in US aid, shirk combat and are despised by local villagers. American casualties are rising. Our soldiers seem to move in a fog through a hostile, unfamiliar terrain, with no idea of who is friend and who is foe."

Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields

Charles Bowden

"This thing started in 2006 with the new president, as a statement of his personal power. You know, mano dura-"I'm a strong man." He ripped the mask off Mexico. In other words, he was going to claim he's the big guy. And the mask he ripped off revealed what's really going on in Mexico: mass poverty and social disintegration. Now it's turned into a war by the Mexican government against the Mexican people."

Is the CIA behind Mexico's Bloody Drug War?

By Mike Whitney

The militarization of the war on drugs has been a colossal disaster which has accelerated the pace of social disintegration. Mexico is quickly becoming a failed state, and Washington's deeply-flawed Merida Initiative, which provides $1.4 billion in aid to the Calderon administration to intensify military operations, is largely to blame.

Ciudad Juarez: The Global Economy's New Killing Fields

Rose Aguilar, Your Call: "How is the so-called 'war on drugs' and NAFTA affecting Mexico? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with journalist Charles Bowden, author of 'Murder City: Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields.' In 2009, 23,000 people were killed in drug-related violence in Mexico, 4,300 of them in Ciudad Juarez alone. What explains the rise in drug violence?"
