If US takes down their democracy and downs their domestic passenger jets, fight a proxy war with chemical weapons through Saddam Hussein that alone kills 20~30 thousand, no country is going to respond to that with flowers in their hair.

Loved your link, but I doubt it is going to change anyone who thinks Israel and US are doing the god's work here.

Once you simply kill all the leaders, there is no one left to negotiate with.

Iran is also oddly moderate from the region (beyond the whole death to America thing).
