Not to offend but I kind of think your wrong about us placing the Shah in power. It was in the 1950's when Britain decided to oust the democratically elected shah out of power with the help of the U.S due to the attempts at nationalizing its oil. Though he modernized Iran he was terrible to his people and in the 1970's there was a revolution which ousted him out of power. This is when Iran became a republic and its been that way up until today. This is also why we are hostile towards Iran. They want nuclear technology which could be used for Weapons technology or for energy but we (the common people) really don't know at this point. I have a hunch the U.S is using yet another scare tactic to get us on board with attacking Iran.
