Question: How does the CIA's activities in Iran show that the US behaves undemocratically, in its foreign policy?
The CIA bribed government officials in Iran to overthrow the democratic leader Mossadeq. Since a democratic leader was elected in Iran, the US should be glad about the election. Insead, the US helps Britain get back their oil company that was nationalized by Mossadeq.
The CIA trying to overthrow the Iranish government shows that the US behaves undemocratically because they had bribed many people so that they would help them. If the American citizens knew about this, they might think that the government was trying to control other countries.
