Not yet. However, if they continue to support an international rogue government, they will be eventually.
I think you have things backwards. Israel is a modern country and only kills Palestinians and Arabs because they are trying to kill them. If the A/Ps stop, so will Israel but if Israel stops, it will not be reciprocated. The USA and Israel had nothing to do with Sadam's power play in Iran. Once the war started, the USA supported Iraq because of the fear of a radical Islamic government winning would/could start a world war. One must remember that Iraq was a Soviet ally and not a friend of the USA however, a major war in the Middle East was feared more.
The animosity comes mostly from the way American people were treated after the Iranian revolution. The rhetoric coming from the mullahs has done nothing to abate this. As long as the Iranian government supports Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups and continues to develop nuclear weapons, how can the world treat them as friends?
Basically, if the Iranian government would behave like a modern nation, the USA would become friendly but I don't see that happening so long as the real power is held by radical Islamacists and the majority of Iranians are basically ignored and kept unable to make changes. The USA has done Iran a great favor by eliminating the Bathist government in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Iran no longer has any direct enemies and has become by default a regional power. It is time to behave.

No Iran has others do it's work for it, aka Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.and what about the Iranians who have been killed and caught in Iraq and all the Iranian weapons discovered in Iraq and all the people who have said they were trained in Iran to fight in Iraq and other places?, but I suppose all that's propaganda spread by the west to besmirch the Iranians. Give me, and the rest of the world a break will you please, the reason Iran has been able to get away with this crap for so long is because they can just spout this crap that they're just innocent little lambs cowering in a corner while being set upon by the great beast America, and the west. SPARE ME!!!!!, Please God spare me!!!!

I have no axe to grind with the Iranian people. I believe that the vast majority of them are good hard-working folks who simply want to get on with their lives. Those who get suckered in by terrorist extremists will have their day of reckoning and will then receive their reward with Ibliss.
There's not a lot we can do about Palestine until Palestinians stop killing each other first. Sad but true and you know it.
I do believe that Iran's president is a whack job who needs to be removed from office. Hmmm... We seem to have the same problem in the US. Maybe things will improve for all of us in a couple of years.

I love Iranian people and I worry when Bush makes such cruel and genocidal threats against the Iranian people. I believe that nuclear weapons are ALWAYS a crime against humanity and are the worst form of terrorism.
Zionazi Israel is a major player in the military industrial complex (MIC); they are war profiteers along with the American Empire under Bush, the mainstream media and Big Pharma. (same wealthy sociopaths on the BOD of all of these).
The Terrorist "solution" STINKS because it gives the MIC justification for making BILLIONS off of the Middle East conflict. It adds fuel to the evil imperialistic fire. The MIC uses the scary terrorists to provoke fear of "other" in the American people (bigotry) so we don't object too strongly to our military bombing innocent people in order to "stop the terrorists." (but the MIC doesnt REALLY want to stop the terrorists cause then they'd stop making the big war bucks.)
The Palestinian Holocaust must be exposed. Unfortunately it is a taboo to speak out against Israel - we are taught that to do so means one is "anti-semitic." Of course, Jews are no more Semitic than other Arabs -- but the Zionist movement uses the defamation card to push through its war profiteering agenda.
Its a messed up world. I wish you the best!

I think the Iranian people are the enemy of many. Women, for one.
I have been the landlord to several different Iranian men over the years. I can't tell you the number of times I had scared and shaking women pound on my door pleading that I call the police after being threatened/attacked by my Iranian tenants. Not just one tenant, not just two, but 4-5 different Iranian men. Plus, my sister was married to an Iranian and she and her children were routinely beaten, locked in closets, refused food.
So, I don't know if it was just their innate disrespect for American women or, their treatment of women in general. Either way, it greatly concerns me to this day.
These same men trashed their apartments, left animal feces throughout, splashed red paint all over the walls and carpets of their bedrooms and then, skipped back home to Iran without payment of their last few months of rent.
You would think they would have had a little more respect for the country they were visiting and who was paying for their education by granting them loans (that they skated out on) but, no, never, not a one ever left their apartment in better than rehab condition.
I hate to be so biased against a nation of people, but these men were here taking full advantage of our educational opportunities and in the end, disrespected us all. So, I am not sure I want to be friends with any Iranian and I don't feel bad about feeling that way because it is based upon my personal experiences with those Iranians who came here and behaved themselves so badly.
I hope you guys have been hard at work on changing your attitudes toward women over there and also, your respect for the property of others.
EDIT: Furthermore, you have a president who openly defiles the west and calls for the death of entire nations of people and your people adore him. What are we to gather from that? About your people?
(I may not like the Iranians I have known but, I would never call for the death of your entire nation.)
And, your nation as a whole is lost due to its blind following of religious scholars (man) instead, of God or, Allah, as you call Him. No one on this planet speaks for God and no one on this planet has the ability to pass judgment on behalf of God. Your people would do well to remember that and stop allowing your scholars to lead you into hatred and darkness. One must be patient in waiting for the coming of the Lord, not attempt acting in his stead during his absence.

Actually I think many Iranians admire us, maybe not love or respect us, but admire us in some form or fashion. It's the nutjobs in power that hate us.

Iranians are just as bad / or radicals as Iraqis and can not be trusted either !! The people of Isreal only get mad because other arabic countries are trying to steal thier land. And Isreal will not tolerate any B.S. from anybody next door.
