4. The whole deal is a charade........
The reason that Iran is and has been in the crosshairs of the United States is that they have this nasty habit of having an independent mind. They overthrew the Shah, who was re-installed after the US, via the CIA, overthrew Mossadeq.

Since they insist on having an independent mind and some energy supplies, the US will continue to demonize the state.

It's as bogus as the cold war, and Operation Gladio, and Cambodia and Korea and Iraq and Afghanistan. The US does not fight for freedom; it fights for resources, and most of the excuses for said wars are bogus.
