The Ottoman empire was a different creature entirely from Iran.
The Iranian conflict stems from a moment in time when the elected Iranian government wanted to add a levy to oil exports so that some of the money would go towards the economy. This would, of course, impact the profits of BP. So, the British and American Governments hatched a plot to replace the elected government of Iran with the Shah - which, of course, had some knock-on effects in the 70's that you might remember.
Oh.
What the fuck.
Maybe the US should just build a Death Star or something. Same basic idea.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
