Yeah and Neither NATO or Just the US gave a shit about Hussein, or The Shah, or any of the human rights abuses perpetrated by their friendly dictators until they were a convenient excuse to remove them.

Right, human rights abuses were the justification for the Iraq War. Silly me, thinking the WMD lie was the justification.
Now we’re responsible for removing the Shah too? Wow.
Yep, I deleted my comment because I reread the last sentence of yours. I certainly don’t believe the US overthrew their puppet dictator in favor of one of the few anti-imperial powers still standing

This might be a shock, but:
Mossadegh was not the Shah
Mossadegh was not a dictator nor removed for claimed human rights violations.
The US and UK didn’t even admit involvement until much later, which would make “We did it because of X” a bit of a tough sell.
