To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

What is the agenda ?
Bush openly declared in 2006 that assassins would target Iranian government and military.
 Nations on two borders have been invaded by U.S. forces.
Iran is routinely flogged as a nuclear menace for operating power generation under a treaty which guaranteed they would not be harassed for doing so. Most recently they tried to process technology for nuclear medicine to the usual economic reprisals.
CASMII will give you a snoot full of stories about U.S. actions against Iran.
Then there is the systematic misrepresentation of the NPT TRAP.
Does anyone remember that U.S. forces imprisoned and tortured Iranian consular guests of the Iraqi 'government' ?
Now compare that to their actions re: Royal Navy incursion into disputed waters. They were released.
Comparison to Gitmo and Abu Ghraib leave the U.S. without so much as a stub of a crutch to support protests...and Ted Kennedy is gone.
Maybe Jimmy Carter would take it on. Who else has any moral status whatsoever ?
