I am sure if they took a real poll in Iran today, most of the people like and respect the US and want us back.

Just as we were greeted with flowers as the liberators of Iraq. I don't know what services you rendered to the US in Iran, but I sure hope it was not intelligence.

We were greeted with flowers in most of Iraq. And most Iraqis don't want us to leave immediately. It seems as though you would rather believe a biased MSM that generally never leaves the Green Zone than our military personnel and others engaged in the reconstruction of the country.

Do you believe we are the liberators of Iraq [and Afghanistan]? You seem to base your knowledge on Iran on your brief encounter with some small number of atypical Iranian students who seem to have derived their contempt for America based on their experience here. I say they are atypical based on interviews and studies done by USIS and others in our Embassies. We have found that the visitors programs, exchange programs, and students are the best way to strengthen our relations with countries. Almost universally, they return to their home countries with a far better understanding and appreciation for America than what they had before the visit.

Your gratuitous insult reflects more on you than me. Your ignorance is only exceeded by your arrogance.
