It’s not quite the “fell for it again” award. It’s the “duped because I’m ignorant about history” award. Even if you are against Khamenei and the cleric class of leaders, the Americans are not, and never will be, your friends.

Crazy how you use the word serving. It is not serving , it is participating in Illegal wars

So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.

My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.

I’d be curious of any diaspora differences. How would a Swedish Irani expat’s opinions differ from an Irani from Teh-ronto or Tehr-angeles?
