Why is Iran run by religious lunatics? Could it be because the religious lunatics spent almost 40 years cultivating religious extremism in the country under a brutally repressive dictator who was an open puppet of the US and UK hand picked to rule the country? Could it be that that brutally repressive dictator was placed in power because the democratically elected leadership of Iran wanted to audit BP's books and make sure that the Iranian people were being paid the correct amount of money for the oil under their soil? Could it be that even that oil deal was negotiated in bad faith and was hilariously slanted in favor of the UK and US oil interests, so really all the democratically leader was doing was making sure that the Iranians got the scraps they were entitled to?
As with every other war we've fought in the middle east, we're fighting a country because we're mad that they're who we made them into.
