Any thought on this? (www.anarchistfederation.net)

I strongly disagree with the text. I understand it as the author doesn't want the people of Iran to liberate themselves from tyranny, because then they would be controlled by US which is also tyrannic. But not supporting people liberating themselves because one feels like they know better than the people seems just like the imperialist logic, just reversed. What are your thoughts? Does the text reflect common opinion among anarchists?

A very reductive, contrarian way of thinking. "The US is bad, therefore anything the US opposes is good, actually"

For these people, everything is black or white. There is only the evil US plus its allies, and its heroic enemies.
