It really shows that people have selective bias on what they want to sympathize with. I'm looking at you "rationalists" and "moderates". Fuck you.

aren't you the guy that defends everything CCP does and then gets butthurt when they are criticized?
Dude. Just say you are a communist. Holy shit. You defend Marxism in your posts, (and grayzone's literally a tankie site) ,and you apparently support socialist Venezuela, and you cry using words like "imperialism" and defend a dystopian totalitarian communist state that still worships Karl Marx in universities just cause its against the West. And show up at any post that says anything critical about China to get butthurt over it. . Like everything about you screams 50 cent tankie.
The general (of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard) was killed for organising the killings of Americans (hundreds of them, through the years).
Iran has a working relationship with Al Qaeda (which is also why AQ tried to stop the rogue Zarqawi from indicriminately and genocidally attacking the Shia in Iraq, eventually Zarqawi's breakaway faction today known as the Islamic State declared war on AQ too). I think they still host Osama's son whom they wanted to make his successor. They have even better relations with the Taliban today, very much unlike before 2001 when they had border clashes and Iranians almost invaded Afghanistan themselves.
Role? Osama's goal was bringing down the Saudi kingdom, ever since the latter stationed "the crusaders" in their other holy land of Mecca and Medina in 1990. During the early to mid 2000s the AQAP insurgency tried just that by attacking Western and regime targets in Saudi Arabia until they were defeated and now they exist pretty much only in Yemen (with cells elsewhere including Europe, the Charlie Hebdo attack was theirs). You're very confused.
This "country which US invaded, and which by proxy you're defending" was the mortal enemy of Iran, which had invaded Iran and killed more than half million Iranians.
The Iranians should had been especially happy for how new government that the Americans installed was the very people whom Iran had been sheltering (and funding and arming and training) until 2003. Namely the SCIRI (which stood for the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq) and the also Shiite revolutionary Dawa Islamic Party. Besides the Iraqi Kurds, whom they also had supported against Saddam.
The Americans even disarmed the Iranians whom Iraq had been sheltering (and funding and arming and training) against Iran, namely the People's Mujahedeen of Iran (Islamic gommunists, who had helped bring down the Shah during the Islamic Revolution in Iran before being expelled to Iraq and then helping Saddam fight Iran and the internal enemies too).
Suleimani should had been thankful for all this, and for how the Americans liberated the Shiite holy cities from Sunni oppression (also allowing for Iranian pilgrims to finally get access the shrines, which is very important for the faithful), but he wasn't a "moral, rational, sane person". Besides the usual rabid "Death to America" opposition to the Great Satan, he and his bosses hated how the Iraqi religious leaders from the free Najaf and Karbala could now more than rival the Tehran Ayatollahs across the Shia world (it just happened that Sistani isn't political).
