The only thing I'd add is that the Eisenhower administration's contribution to the 1953 coup in Iran, overthrowing its democratically elected president, is the original sin of the US's policies in the region. What is unknown to most of my fellow citizens is never forgotten in Iran, and was long part and parcel of popular aversion to the US throughout the region. I don't know if it's still important outside of Iran.
I also want to note that "The U.S. supplies weapons to Israel but is not responsible for how they are used. Iran supplies weapons to anonymous, ungovernable tribes in Iraq and Syria but IS responsible for how they are used. See how that works" was a connection I hadn't made, so thank you for that, as well as for the rest of your thoughts today.
