Respectfully, the source is PressTV, which is the mouthpiece of the Iranian Government. They have a tendancy to leave out key information, like facts.

Distorted? You think we are roses and kittens here?
You should read about how we infiltrated Texas, started a revolution and then annexed it. That was before we later outright invaded Mexico. 100 hundred years before Israel, US Marines occupied Mexico City. We would have taken the whole country, but the US Congress only wanted the northern half.
We have always had a Manifest Destiny of empire. When the Founding Fathers modeled us on the Roman Republic, they knew, especially Franklin and Jefferson, exactly what they were doing. There are reasons we have fasces all over our great Republic, reasons why a Greco Roman goddess of war, wisdom, and democracy stands atop the US Capitol and many other places.
Only a blind man would not see it.

Hijacked?
So did Israel hijack the US when it invaded Mexico in 1848 and annexed half of it?
Was it hijacked when it plowed through the Confederacy?
Was it hijacked when it wiped out or ethnically cleansed native tribes from the Atlantic to the Pacific?
Was it hijacked when it annexed Hawaii?
Was it hijacked when it fought and defeated the Spanish Empire in 1899, annexing the Phillipines and Cuba?
We have never been hijacked. We have fought for empire from day one. Both Franklin and Jefferson said the US would become a great empire.
By the time Israel was born in 1948, we had already become a global empire mightier than any in human history.
1945 was the dawn of Pax Americana.
That's distorted history, don't you recognize that.
For many years now the American foreign policy has been characterized by the strong tie between the United States and Israel. Does the United States in fact keep Israel on its feet? And how long will it continue to do so? In March 2006 the American political scientists John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) and Steve Walt (Harvard) published the controversial article 'The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy'. In it they state that it is not, or no longer, expedient for the US to support and protect present-day Israel. The documentary sheds light on both parties involved in the discussion: those who wish to maintain the strong tie between the US and Israel, and those who were critical of it and not infrequently became 'victims' of the lobby. The question arises to what extend the pro-Israel lobby ultimately determines the military and political importance of Israel itself. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's former chief-of-staff) explains how the lobby's influence affects the decision-making structure in the White House.

NEW YORK: Two defectors from Iran's intelligence service have testified that Iranian officials knew in advance about the attacks of September 11, 2001, says a US court filing that seeks damages for Iran's ''direct support for, and sponsorship of, the most deadly act of terrorism in American history''. One of the defectors also claimed that Iran was involved in designing the attacks, the filing said. The defectors' identities and testimony were not revealed in the filing but were being submitted to a judge under seal, said lawyers who brought the original suit against Iran on behalf of families of dozens of September 11 victims. The suit says Iran and Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group with close ties to Tehran, helped al-Qaeda with planning the attacks and with the hijackers' training and travel. After the attacks, the suit says, Iran and Hezbollah helped al-Qaeda operatives and their families to escape, in some cases providing them with a safe haven in Iran
