From Glenn Greenwald earlier today. Food for thought:

The US and Israel aren't trying to "liberate" Iranians or bring them freedom. And therefore, despite however many Iranians want that for themselves, that won't be the outcome.

The US and Israel are trying to re-impose the vicious and repressive tyrants that ruled Iran before their 1979 revolution: the Israeli and US puppets of the Shah.

The US and Israel don't want democracy in the Middle East because they know anti-US/Israel sentiments would prevail in an election.

Americans pretended to support Egyptian students as they worked to overthrow their US-supported dictator Hosni Mubarak (yay, look at those brave Tahrir Square demonstrators working to get rid of the dictator we imposed on them!).

Those Egyptians "won" and got elections, but then voted for the wrong candidate. So the US immediately worked to overthrow the winners and re-install a Mubarak-like dictator in Sisi, and the Obama administration cheered it. They live under brutal repression, supported by the US with billions, to this very day.
