But almost every powerful country in this world takes advantage of other countries. It's just part of how the world works, the US is not exclusive to this tactic. It doesn't mean it's right, but to single out the US as the only country that does it is just wrong.

Sure, Iran does have a shitload of oil - and that belongs to Iran and no other nation.
Having an agressive bully on the block is no excuse - whether that is/was the old Soviet block or the more "civilized" US - they are both shit for playing the bully game and totally deserve a hard kick in the ass for their interference. It's ironic a nation attempts to stand on "righteous" grounds while attempting to thieve from other nations and killing many 1000's in the process. That is not justifiable in any way and sure as hell will reap the fruit of this conduct. Whether that nation is the US or others - it matters little - they are still theives.
Kinda makes you wonder what the source of "terrorism" is in the Middle East - hardly a surprise pk.
