"State sponsor of terror" is one of the most useful phrases in the American foreign policy vocabulary.
Not because of what it identifies.
Because of what it reveals about who gets to define the category.
Iran is on the list.
The country that, in 1953, had its democracy removed by a CIA-backed coup because it nationalized its oil, is on the list of countries that threaten the "international order."
The country that removed that democracy is not on the list.
It wrote the list.
