You probably should read up on the history of the Shah of Iran, Western oil companies, the CIA and the Islamic revolution.

That's not an argument. But I happen to be familiar enough with that history to also say your point isn't even a valid one.

That's the two wrongs make a right logical fallacy. That the US did shit to Iran does not excuse the shit Iran is currently up to.

"You should read up on" is not a persuasive logical argument - it's a dismissive throw away line given by someone who doesn't have one.

As long as you also read up on the related history of Russia and Communism, too. This is a good suggestion.

The book, "Twilight War," has a lot of material background on the matter.
