Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani: Didn't the people of Iraq join with foreigners who attacked their country in order to free themselves from injustice and to save themselves and their country? Was this their initial demand, or did their deteriorating conditions lead them to this? It won't be a bad idea to review history from time to time. How long must this situation, which is shameful to every Iranian, continue?

But the foreigners ("us") actually attacked the country's tyrants and those who followed/obeyed them, not the people themselves. This was not a war of genocide.
"How long must this situation, which is shameful to every Iranian, continue?"
A question I ask too. Americans were fooled into electing Obama, Iranians into supporting the Revolution (with several competing factions opposing the Shah, only one of which would come out on top and a lot of them were surprised at the result).
I don't know what it will take to free Iranians of their tyranny; I only hope it would not be a replay of Iraq.
Hey, maybe Jewish Israel might finally return the age-old favor.
I don't know.
