Does the American ruling class and its DEEP STATE ever try to understand another nation 's - like Islamic Iran - point of view ? The United States is hardly an example of EXCEPTIONALISM in being on a higher moral level than any other nation state. I commend Russia's Vladimir Putin for reminding the American imperialists of this truth some years ago . In no country on earth do ordinary working class people plan wars or start wars . But they do end wars as history teaches.
