How, exactly? One day your children could say the same of political atrocities committed in your youth. Governments outlast people.

There are certainly many more recent examples of American foreign policy screwups - some of which were vastly more destructive than Iran - but I'm not aware of any during my lifetime that involved overthrowing a democratically elected government.
