Iran Does Not Hate Americans… But it Has Legitimate Reasons to Do So, by Larry C. Johnson - The Unz Review

 During a Zoom meeting today I listened to a retired US General make the case for going to war against Iran… He was not advocating that Trump do so, but he provided a fascinating summary of how he, and most Americans, view Iran as a threat that must be destroyed. His basic charge is that Iran has killed thousands of Americans, especially US military personnel, and is an irredeemable terrorist state. Stay tuned… I’m going to show you how wrong that gentleman is.

When he finished talking, I asked for the floor and stated that Iran’s attacks on US personnel over the last 45 years were largely in response to US actions. What follows is a full explanation of my disagreement with his premise. I gave him the Reader’s Digest version… Here is the Full Monty.......

......Returning to Bibi Netanyahu’s definition of terrorism, there is only one country operating in West Asia that has killed at least 250,000 civilians… It is not Iran, it is the United States. For the last 46 years, the American public have been gaslit about an Iranian terrorism threat that pales in comparison to what America has done. If we add in the number of Iranians killed because of a US-funded proxy, than the toll of lives lost approaches one million. If there is a God who passes judgment on nations for the evil they do, the one country that should fear divine judgment is the US, not Iran.
