Ayatollah Sean Penn, Rafsanjani, and the US

Hollywood actor Sean Penn, adopting the role of a journalist, scribbled in his notebook as Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran chanted "Death to America."
Why? Why "Death to America"? Why "Marg Bar Amreeka"? When will the Iranian politicians start distinguishing between the US foreign policy and the US culture and people?
This extreme Anti-Americanism won't take Iran anywhere...
I hope Rafsanjani would deliver his promises and try to restart the diplomatic relations between his country and the US, and I hope the US government will return the $11 billion Iranian assets frozen in the wake of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
The global irrational hatred against the United States as a whole should stop so that the US people can realize that no one hates them for what they are, but most of the world opposes their government's unjust foreign policy.
