America missed its greatest chance with Mohammad Khatami with its gunho policy of Bush jr and their views of Iran, which led to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gaining control of the country.
So who's fault is it?
Ultimately, Bush Jr did the biggest blows to US-Iranian relations at the critical time they could resolve the issues and get some work done.
So when some one like Obama gained power, the actions of Bush Jr. lead to the radical extremist president who commits a coup to have a stranglehold on his power which makes America unable to act diplomatically. Also, because of the actions of the Republicans and their foriegn policy in causing the recent mess, they some how believe that them causing this mess now gives them justification to cause more mess by invading them.
That is the modern day truth to the matter. However, EMFM might disagree with this, because he believes America is infallible.
(Another tibit of truth, Iran offered full support and assistance to America in the invasions of both Afghanistan and Iraq, as Iran has always had trouble with those regions funding militants against them. Bush jr told Iran them where to stick it their generous offers and denounced them as the Axis of Evil.)
