Was Iran not helping and supplying the insurgents in Iraq during the war which led to US forces being killed. It is not ridiculous, it in naive to believe otherwise. You want a country whose parliament chants death to America to be our ally! Not to mention Hamas and their role with shelling Israel or the kidnapping of innocents. And are you comparing Iran to the United States in foreign policy. We may do things that are misguided, but we do them for the right reasons. They are a known state sponsor of terrorism, we are not. There is right and wrong and black and white with some grey, but Iran is a nation we do not need nor want as an ally
