You couldn't argue against my comment directly in place, because you were scared of getting an answer?

My point was that all undemocratic juntas need to have/create external enemies. That is hardly controversial. Today the democratic West seems to be preferred for the enemy role, so democratic opposition is treason.

>> Any form of government that "we" don't like is lying about everything

Well, you (and the juntas that can't lose elections) must be right, it is just a western conspiracy! Including those lying measurements of human/press/election/etc freedoms from Amnesty, HRW, etc!

It doesn't bother you to have the same opinions as disgusting dictators? But, of course, it is all USAs fault anyway?

I voted you up, for the humor. And for recommending to keep politics off HN.

Edit: Seriously, thanks. Your personal insults and parody of my position (hidden in another place!) was the closest I got to a relevant reply. (If you had a real answer you would have written that, so the insults say more about you than me.)

Edit 2: You even inverted my position, I never claimed "The US (and Europe) has set out to antagonize not only Iran, but Russia, and China."
