This.
It's too easy to bash America of this and that because we can do so without getting arrested and tortured because of our opinions. People who do that for the sake of bashing are as stupid as that group of wankers named Anonymous, who should be digging up and hit hard countries like Iran instead of having the usual hard-on against the West. Just for a question of tuition hikes in Quebec, Anonymous showed up while they never showed up to call out on the war in Syria, repression in Iran, famine in country x, and many more things deserving of public attention.

For your information, although no one's a good guy in geopolitics, Iran created A HISTOTICAL FIRST by storming an embassy during what was deemed a time of peace and DE FACTO invading a sovereign territory according to all existing conventions. Flushing out the Shah should have been enough for Iran, but pushing on with the embassy was absolutely stupid and no wonder why Iran doesn't deserve any respect from anybody.
For the record, how would you feel if one of your own embassies was stormed by a bunch of people disregarding all international conventions? If we were not that civilized and self-restraining in the Western world, Japan and Australia, I would be eating popcorn while watching Iranian embassies getting burned to the ground and Iranian diplomats being humiliated in public as a response for 1980.
Seriously, Vallen, you have gone down by several points in my esteem with your comments.
