Answer 6

Bush is very popular in Iran; their people do not agree with their crazy government.

Iran is currently attacking our soldiers in iraq.  They train and arm our enemies there.  They also have been caught giving weapons to Al Quaeda and the taliban to use against us in afghanistan.

Their government burns American flags in the street and their government tv shows urge their people to kill americans.

The Iranian government itself has planned terrorist attacks against the US.

They fund, arm and train the terrorist group Hezbollah, which carries out dozens of terrorist attacks against jews and westerners every year.  Hezbolla controls the country of lebanon by force.

Iran killed 243 marines in lebanon on 1983 with a truck bomb.  

They kidnapped 52 of our diplomats and held them for 444 days.  

They are building a nuclear bomb.  

There is plenty more but im sure this is enough

Answer 7

And Russia too, you forgot to ask, did not you? Because THEY (Mc Cain GWB and others) want you to believe this c@rap. It is a lie, a lot of oil and money in their pockets, not in the pockets of the ordinary americans' of course. And also It is a lot of deaths.

The same they said about Iraq.

Answer 8

Perhaps it is because their president shouts, "Death to America!" along with the people at speeches?

Or perhaps it is because they have been funding terrorists and supplying weapons and training to people that have been killing American troops in Iraq?

Since I'm a conservative and unable to see the nuanced "gray" of these actions, I simply conclude that maybe they don't like us, and are our enemy.

Answer 9

Taking and holding 52 Americans hostage from November 1979 to January of 1981, mine laying in international waters in 1987 and 1988, recent Iranian marked munitions attacking US forces in Iraq, and earlier this year attacking our navy in international waters qualifies as something they did.

Recently saying they will wipe Israel off the map and saying we are also infidels and working with Israel towards common objectives would imply we deserve the same annihilation they plan for Israel.  That and threats to kill us and humiliate us in war when we were not at war or even imminent war, as far as we knew, qualify as things they said that makes them our enemy.  

Answer 10

Iran is your enemy because in the eyes of the US government they have American oil under their soil. Also Iran refuse to be puppets for the US government.  

Answer 11

First of all, they are not my enemy.  One of their leaders elected by the unwashed masses whom he promised a better life, did some trash talking about Israel which is really common in the mid East and it was elevated into the form of holy gospel by the Western press.  Plus they have a nuclear power program which they are developing and the neocons in Washington DC and Israel feel that only Israel should have (200) nuclear weapons and that, of course, Iran is developing them on the sly.  No proof, of course, but does this begin to sound familiar?
