Iranian leaders go around chanting "Death to America" and call for the genocide of the people of Israel. They don't call for the destruction of their own country. That takes a whole special kind of stupid.
You forgot one other point. The Persians have hated the Arabs for a few thousand years and vice versa.

Ask East Timor, Cambodia, Vietnam, or El Salvador. They can tell you all about it.

The only one who is an apologist is you.
you are the one who is an apologist for the new world order regime.

I on the other hand have said time after time I don't see any innocent actor around the world.

your sole purpose on this website appears to be pushing propaganda. you must have forgotten that you are not a politician. you don't have to keep lying to get votes.

Many of the Africans aren't Arabs either. I wouldn't exactly call a Sudanese or Somalian an Arab. And as for Syria, Iran's and Syria's leaders are bosom buddies.

The horrorshows in Vietnam and Cambodia were created by the respective Communist regimes. As a nearby country the U.S. may have had some responsibility for stopping any such crises in El Salvador. But I have not heard of the level of brutality typical of Iran, Syria or IS in El Salvador. And East Timor as a reference is odd indeed.

And while you're at it learn to write in English.

The U.S. encourage Suharto (U.S. backed dictator in Indonesia) to invade East Timor after Portugal left in 1975. Suharto then committed mass genocide in East Timor, and the U.S. still supported Suharto.

Did the u.s. encourage the genocide? Who were the other players in the drama?

Read number 4. The U.S. explicitly gave a green light for the invasion of East Timor. Other nations, such as Australia also assisted Suharto.

Of course we did.

So while I learn English, go somewhere and learn history before you pop off.
