Just because Iranian hardliners chant “Death to America” does not mean that that’s what all Iranians believe. In fact, it’s those . . .

Just a reminder: when ordinary Iranians tried to overthrow the hardliners a few years ago, Obama pointedly ignored their cries for help. Thanks to him, the hardliners remained firmly in control.
