Americans I know seem to not only think of political groups as monoliths but also foreigners. The idea that many Israelis might not support the current government or all Iranians aren't blood thirsty hasn't crossed their minds. And don't get me started about Gaza and those Christians that live there while US Christians cheer on the Netanyahu government. 

And people actually think the masses are qualified to select leaders? I'm pretty sure they aren't.

It's interesting that when you talk to people from that region living here in the U.S., they seem to be (mostly) against their own governments. I've met a number of Jews and Israeli's who hate Netanyahu's government, and it seems like a lot of Persians detest Iran's government as well.
