Considering that the United States has shit on Iran pretty well continuously since the US arranged to overthrow their government in 1954, your whining can be translated into, “After two generations of killing the Iranians, they are fighting back.”

My father was a hard-core conservative, but he had also travelled extensively in Iran. During the hostage crisis in 1979 he said very little. When I asked him, he said, “The Ayatollah is certainly a bad man, but he could not possibly as evil a person as the [US backed] Shah.”

Hey! I have an idea for you! Why not stop attacking other countries that have never offered you any harm?

I mean, the US has engaged in warfare pretty well continuously in the Middle East for over 70 years, and yet the only country that ever offered the US any serious harm, Saudi Arabia who masterminded 9/11, the same Saudi Arabia that is one of the worst religious dictatorships in history, is America’s bosom buddy.

As it is, your “We attempted to continue our program of mass murder, and even though we had the largest military force in the history of the world, those people had the temerity to keep fighting,” comes off as typical genocidal bullshit from a morally bankrupt military aggressor.
