SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: why are you never told the full story? Because unresolved grievances are useful. They justify permanent hostility.

A tip for the American people:

Whenever your politicians invoke a grievance against Iran - for example, "Iran seized our embassy", "Iran attacked our troops in Iraq" - just ask two simple questions: 

What happened before? And what happened after?

Ask what happened before, and you get historical context. Those Iranian students didn't storm your embassy out of gratuitous hostility. They stormed it because two decades earlier, your government ran a coup from that same building to destroy their democracy and install a brutal monarchy in its place.

Ask what happened after, and you'll find that America took its revenge many times over, even when the matter had been formally settled. The hostage crisis was resolved by the 1981 Algiers Accords. Yet your government proceeded to arm Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, then looked the other way while he gassed Iranian soldiers and civilians for eight years straight.

Do this for every allegation on the list. You'll find that none happened in a vacuum, and all were repaid in Iranian blood well beyond any proportion.

Then ask yourself a third question: why are you never told the full story?

Because unresolved grievances are useful. They justify permanent hostility. And if you look carefully at who works hardest to keep them alive - who funds the think tanks, fills the panels, writes the op-eds - you'll find they are largely not acting in America's interest at all. They are mostly agents and apologists of Israel with a vested interest in ensuring that tensions never truly subside, regardless of the consequences of war.
