11. Who would have thought?

The Middle East and especially Iran, were always portrayed as backwards countries with weird languages, strange forms of government and religion, but they needed to be kidded along because of the black goo in the ground.

If they misbehave, just bully them into submission.

Turns out Iran knows how to fight a war, and produces more than just crude oil.

All those years of misinformation upturned by recent events!
Trump is pissed!

What other delusions lurk in the minds of America?
