I agree that The United States intervention in The Middle East has caused problems there, however the damage is done now, and it is best to maintain key partnerships with the countries that benefit us.
While I agree that puppet leaders are unideal, it's better to choose leaders that are aligned with us, and it's unfortunate Iran overcorrected, and hated us as a result of poor leadership but the fact is they hate The U.S. now, so until that changes we need to support countries that will limit them from causing us real harm.
