That said, this is ridiculous that the US has attacked a sovereign nation. But also, #### the Iranian government. Everyone sucks in this.

Saddam Hussein tried the same thing before the invasion of Iraq. He denied publicly that there were WMDs (which was true), but still restricted access to sites to give the impression that he might as an attempt to scare off any military action. He called America's bluff and lost. I think everyone outside of American civilians knew what was really going on and the WMDs were just an excuse. The difference with Iran is that I do believe that they are trying to become a nuclear power. How close they are or were, and how close is too close, I have no idea. A good rule of thumb though, is that if you really want to have nuclear weapons, do not have "Death to America" as your motto.
