Then how come everyone who turns on us in that region is someone we used to support? Bin Laden, Saddam, ISIS, the Rebels in Libya who attacked Benghazi. They all are guys the CIA said, "Yup, these guys are swell, let's give them money and weapons, what could possibly go wrong?"
Are the Iranians bastards? Yup! Are they our problem? Not really.
A couple of points. First, for me, this isn't a partisan issue. The Democrats aren't really much better than the Republicans on the issue of Middle East policy. They both let the Zionist Entity and the Oil Companies dictate what our policies are. America's Middle East Policy for the last 50 years has been sticking our dicks into a hornet's nest and complaining about getting stung. That's when we aren't raising bigger and nastier hornets.
If we had taken the TRILLIONS we spent over there in the last 20 years and invested it in alternative energy, we could have told all these idiots to pound sand (pun intended). We don't. We just gleefully piss away money and march our kids over there to come back in boxes. Nobody ever questions it. Mutants like Dave make money off of it.
There was no state of Israel before 1948. They stole that land.
If you want to go by that, how many wars has the US instigated in that time, vs. how many Wars has Iran instigated? Glass houses, buddy. Glass Houses.
