Is that the best response you can think up? An amateur debate tactic at best.
What I am saying is Iran wanted to strengthen ties with the West and was very sympathetic towards us after 9/11. For whatever reason Bush did not reciprocate this.
...and since when does Iran support a jihad against the West? Seems to be we are the ones banging on the war drums. The only Jihad related quote I can find from Ali Khamenei is below.

The Leader highlighted the importance of scientific progress in society and likened the acquisition of knowledge to jihad. "In Islamic culture, jihad means making efforts to negotiate obstacles... and now the country is truly in need of academic jihad" he opined. He stated that universities are the engine of progress in the country.
