You are simply in denial and you are supporting a huge disaster because you are purposefully blind. Why is it that we were able to raise up and overthrow the corrupt and terrorist regime of the Shah and SAVAK on our own but now we are so helpless we require to be bombed, our families to be killed and our cultural sites to be destroyed to deal with the mullahs? How can you celebrate an evil, external occupying force that will do no good based on all the other examples of their interventions? Are you simply ignorant of the true motivations of the Americans or are you just lying to yourself? Are the people in Iraq better off? Afghanistan? East Timor? Guatemala? Haiti?

An egg that is opened from the inside is a bird to take flight, an egg opened from the outside is about to be cooked.

It's an expat thing. People moving from their country usually have more negative connotations about it and are more likely fo justify their choice by joining the negative propaganda. I've seen people moving to my country praise things that they thought were great and different from their previous experience, but having lived here all my life I know it's not that simple. So, don't believe everything an expat is telling you, that's what I mean
