stringman: yep that's right. if your neighbor was trying to kill you or for that matter anyone trying to kill you would you love them. though shalt not kill.
Why would your neighbor try to kill you?
Would it be because you invaded, massacred them? Would it be because you did kill their people? Would it be because of the chemical weapons you sold to Hussein?

lol... A myth.
Ahmadinejad was voted out and the opposition was voted in. There's very good reasons why Iran has the policies it has, and the backing of their people. Although these policies aren't what Stringman talks about.
actually before the embassy was attacked in 1978 (I think it was '78), we were on good terms. Their King I believe married an American woman.. Regardless of what one thinks about the politics of that Monarchy, to answer your question the animosity w/ Iran is fairly recent.
Obama, on the other hand, is wanting to help Iran build it's missles for them I fear (joking)

Perhaps, you have solved the whole case and I wonder if the attack was because of that marriage of the King and the American woman.

What would had that American woman done???

I think they lived a fairly private existence and had been married for quite some time before the attack. The King and Queen. As I recall they were in the old Life Magazine or something like that is the only way I had heard of them. But back then there was no internet news etc.
In my best guesstimate, that 1978 attack on the American Embassy in Tehran was the benchmark in the start of all of the religious extremism getting out of hand over there. And part of that was opposition to the Monarchy of course. I don't think there was targeted opposition to the Queen per se, just to anything western.
