Ted,
That's why Iran has so much hatred for the US.
I agree with most of that, but I also think the geopolitics of the region are rather ephemeral and not likely to serve as a strong foundation for anti-American sentiment.

For example, the big winners in Bush's Iraq war are the Shiites, who are sympathetic to the Iranians. True, America sided with Iraq in the old Iran-Iraq wars, but that no longer applies today in a post-9/11, post-Bush/Cheney world.

Secondly, the Iranians oppose ISIS as does America. That *should* put two current adversaries on the same side, but Iran of course still sees America as the ultimate evil.

That's why I believe the reasons why Iran hates America are much more fundamental than the shifting political winds of the Middle East.
