Stupid thing is Iran’s government is the way it is as it used to be democratic but the people didn’t vote to USA’s preference so US installed an unpopular puppet government which of course got overthrown and replaced by an extreme government.

USA is a far larger world problem than Iran. Horrific as Iran can be.

This is pretty factually incorrect. Iran was already screwed way before that. Back in the 40's in WW2, they remained neutral to Germany and the allies and had some support and trade with the Germans. The allies asked Iran to expel German influences. They denied. Iran was invaded and over thrown. Years follow and multiple government influences try to establish a government and fail. In come US in the 50's. In the 40's this was the Iranian's government model Reza Shah established an authoritarian government that valued nationalism, militarism, secularism and anti-communism combined with strict censorship and state propaganda.

It also comes down to philosophy. You don't see a large group of our congress screaming "death to XXX citizens and burning their flag." Not even the despicable Donald Trump you loath so much would do that.
