[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1301714, member: 4235"] Well, we [I]did[/I] kinda depose their democratically-elected prime minister back in the 1950s, and install an authoritarian puppet in his place. They do sorta have a right to be pissed at us. I don't think there is any substance to the claims of American planes bombing their cities during the Iran-Iraq war, but it is undisputed that we did provide a lot of military equipment to Iraq during that time, including the know-how for the chemical weapons that they used against Iran, and later on their own citizens. This whole foreign policy of "my enemiy's enemies are my friends" has really worked out well for us, huh? How many times have we gone to war against people we were previously supporting in some conflict that had nothing to to with us? I have to say, if I was in Iran's position, witnessing what is going on with US foreign policy (invading countries on both sides of them), I would be trying to get a bomb as fast as humanly possible. Nations without the bomb get invaded. Nations with the bomb get subsidies. Hard to oppose them in doing something that I would be doing too under the same circumstances. [/QUOTE]
