When I was in Texas my doctor was from Iran. Best doctor I've ever had.

As for Iranians, yes they had a secular government — until they made the 
"mistake" of wanting to profit from their own oil instead of letting U.S. 
and European companies take it all. The U.S. sponsored a coup against the 
elected government and installed the Shah of Iran and his thug police. So 
there is no love for the United States in Iran, even if many of the citizens 
long for the days of a secular government. And here's the important thing to 
remember about Iranians. If you attack them, they unite. Even the opposition 
is patriotic. (Even Iranian Jews are patriotic.) These are not Arabs who 
break up into rival tribes when they see a chance to work with an outside, 
invading power, for their own gain.
