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. Tenchusatsu

The war was devastating for Iran.......at one point, they had to send 14 year old boys to fight because so many of their men had been killed. Apparently, the average age in Iran is 19.
