You wonder why there are bombings in the West when people... advocate regime change and force countries to "engage in attrition". Thats why they hate the west- for the way they are treated. You harm them they will no doubt find ways of harming you. The Iranians if treated like equals like they ought to be, would be no hinderance to the West. Throughout history the Iranians have shown themselves to be capable fighters and their civilization is thousands of years older then America. Getting involved there militarily is a bad step for America's interests abroad and their image around the world. No wonder the world loathes America.
