The 1950s and BP and the CIA foment the revolution that turns Iran from a place of high culture to a police state, just because Mossadegh didn't want to spread his cheeks and give up his people's oil.
1999, conveniently a couple of years before the middle east is about to be torn apart, the, lol, 'student revolution' occurs, with an anniversary in 2009.
And now we have another 'revolution'. They got their timing a bit late, and not in the precise order, but there it is.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”

Iran, because two faux revolutions aren't enough.
