As an insider, I have no hostility towards Iran, and would prefer that our government ally itself with them instead of Saudi Arabia (if it has to choose at all). However, our government is a representative government, meaning it favors those whom it profits most to represent. Sometimes this works in favor of the common American, sometimes it doesn't.
