> "As usual, Iranians chanted "Death to America" and also denounced Israel." The "As usual" should tell you that it is nothing new. It started back in 1979 after their revolution; and you must admit that the US did some really shady things in Iran leading up to the revolution (including the overthrow of Mossadegh). I would really recommend you watch Rick Steves' trip to Iran. The people there are much more liberal than almost any other middle-eastern country, and most don't harbor ill-will towards America; despite the fact that we did everything short of active combat for Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war! No one can estimate the number of Iranians killed based on US intel and US support. And while you do quote "death to america" repeatedly, how about all the threats that everyone from McCain to Bush to Obama have hurled at Iran? "All options are on the table" ... "military force can be used" ... etc. etc. And what about the sanctions? Nations would be within their rights to consider sanctions an "act of war". And Stuxnet? If Iran did the same to us? Obama has stated explicitly that a "cyberattack" would be considered an act of war!!
