    Completely unscientific poll:

    92.5% of Americans think Iran is "evil", and "the bad guy" and "hates our freedom".

    3.8% of Americans know that America deposed the democratically elected Mossadegh because he wanted to nationalize the oil. The Americans (and Brits, tbf) installed the Shah and kept him in power - a horrifically brutal dictator who's cruelty led directly to the people of Iran supporting revolution, even if it was led by religious extremists.
