There was this thing called the Iran Hostage Crisis. That was preceded by the overthrow of our puppet the Shah by Islamist fundamentalists under Ayatollah Khomeini. Which was preceded by our "regime change" overthrowing Mossadeq when his government voted to nationalize oil. And the whole reason we supported Saddam in the first place was to use him against the Iranians. So we've had a beef with Iran long before we had a beef with Iraq. Amazing how history repeats itself. If we found a reason to invade Iraq, you can bet the neocons can find a reason to invade Iran.

Kinda sums up the history!
You would actually wonder why the US has *any* beef at all with Iran since they did more damage to that country than anyone on the planet - you get back the product of the seed that is sown.
And some wonder "why they hate us" - sheesh!! Tho "hate" may be the wrong word - maybe self-preservation is more applicable...the US can't be trusted as evidenced by history.
