That is a no brainer really.

Coup d´états are usually funded by another country, and of course we know who paid for at least 60% of those.

I think 90% of all coups can be traced back to England and the USA

Very much so.

I point this out regularly, and particularly to the hawks who rail against Iran - the US and Great Britain explicitly brought about modern-day Iran.

First they overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran, then they installed the deeply unpopular Shah, then they propped him up for 20-some years. That was how long it took before there was somebody in Iran who was willing to go to the extraordinary lengths necessary to overthrow the western puppet government, and that somebody was the Islamic fundamentalists. So the US and Great Britain are largely responsible for modern Iran. If they really wanted a stable and democratic and non-hostile Iran, all they needed to do was not overthrow their government.
