RUBBISH. You are proposing that people of British and American descent, many of whom weren't even born during the time you are refering to should be held collectively reponsible for the actions not only of their own forbears but the actions of the present day Iranians

The jedi self restraint stuff would have worked wonders back in the 1950s Iran, if the Brits and the Americans had allowed a true form of democracy to take root in that country.
Instead they thrashed it completely, supported a dictator leading to the chain of events to the present day where Iranians would never trust westerners.
In other words
Now look what YOU made THEM do.

I do take responsibility for my actions. For instance I take full responsibility for calling Monk a ****ing little ****er. I do NOT however take responsibility for him BEING a ****ing little ****er.
