The US overthrew their government so oil companies could get rich. Not some minor transgression.

We did this in other countries to prevent communism from taking hold. How many of those countries call for our deaths daily now?

No one asks why Iran is under attack... Or why the US only attacks countries whose military are much much much smaller in capabilities....
In fairness, Iran is not "under attack" they're under international sanctions. Further, what country has the military capacity of the US in the first place? I thought that was part of the beef... the US vastly outspends and overmuscles even the military efforts of everyone combined, let alone any other individual nation.
As for "why Iran?" That's been going on since 70s. After the Shah was toppled and the death cult fanatics took over, they chose the USA or "Great American Satan" as their prime target. I think we've shown tremendous restraint in the face of daily death threats and ceaseless annimosity.

One world, one religion? I can't see that happening. If anything religions should and eventually will be banned.

What an interesting statement considering Vietnam and all the other military endeavors.
Never underestimate what you persevere as the enemy.

However, a twist of fate caused young Norman Schwarzkopf to grow up as an Army child. His father was fired as head of the New Jersey State Police by reason of a personality clash with the new governor, and in World War II had rejoined the Army. He spent years developing the Iranian Constabulary under the late Shah Mohammad Pahlevi, so H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. spent his formative years not in Trenton but in Tehran.

Except for the belief that your government is there for you in time of need, I assume.

Sorry, what? The state sponsored terrorism capital? You’re an idiot. I’d certainly put the us and Saudi far ahead of Iran. For that matter, France and Italy were funneling plenty money to isis as well. Where does Iran sponsor terrorism? Sure, they exert soft and hard influence in their backyard. We do it in hundreds of countries. How many nations do we sanction??? Terrorism is defined as “harming a nations citizens in an attempt to affect that states policies”. That’s exactly what sanctions are. Bugger off with your regurgitated party lines you stale excuse for a meme.
