brianbwb said: "the terrorism committed by Bush was NOT done in my name" The sad responsibility of living in a democracy is that quite possibly it was. Whoever wins the election commits policy in your name, and you had better accept it whether you like it or not. That''s a bizare consequence of being pro-democracy. It sucks totally to see this being done in our name, but until the ''body-politic'' sees it that way, this and more will continue to be committed. The lie of democracy is to make the ''people'' pay no consequence for the actions of their ''leaders''. This explains the massive national debt, the war, and much more. Payment for misdirected domestic and foreign policy keeps getting ''put off'' for some future generation to pay, which allows current leaders to keep getting elected. Until something changes, policies will keep getting misdirected, like it or not.

grazinggoat said: "[Iran] has been supplying Shiite militias in Iraq with deadly weapons" And who exactly is Al-Maliki? The irony is just too rich.

However, that doesn''''t mean their motives are very pure either. Let''''s face it, we''''re all a bunch of terrorists.

I''m not. I don''t lend my name to the supporters of terrorism, on any side of any political, religious, or socio-economic matter.

I publish this statement for all to recognize, the terrorism committed by Bush was NOT done in my name. I totally and officially oppose Bush''s foreign policies, and will use my right as an American to raise my voice in repudiation of him, and his "ideals".

I call for Bush to be held personally accountable for the death and destruction he has visited upon countless innocent people, based on known lies and false evidence posited to the American people.

That''''s because they think "we" are the bad guys.

I''m just trying to say, some people think most of the world problems are our fault; we may not be perfect, but I think we are trying to do the right things. When you are the policeman for the world, you are going to get some people pissed at you.

As far as Iran, give them the bomb. We will just have to deal with whatever happens when it happens.

I hope this helps, things get going in different directions when you try to have a dialog with more than one person at a time.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated over Washington''s accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons and has been supplying Shiite militias in Iraq with deadly weapons used to kill U.S. troops. Iran denies both of the allegations.

-Saddam was accused of having WMDs and his country has been invaded with the catastrophic results known in Iraq. Better remove the liars and better the let reporters ask the right questions.

socrates392: "that doesn''''t mean their motives are very pure either." Sadly, true. Lets just remember that when you impose a dictator against his people, his first obligation is to get rid of the popular (ie moderate) opposition. That leaves what?

That leaves the radical opposition, who aren''t popular, but don''t care whether you kill them (and their families) or not cuz the next life is the one that matters.

Which pretty much explains the whole Ayatolla, Akmadinejad thing right there. Iran''s modern radicalism stems directly from U.S. interference in their development in the 50''s. Makes you wonder about the future of Iraq.

Before the 1950s, Iran and The United States enjoyed cordial political relations.

Up until World War II, relations between Iran and the United States remained cordial. As a result many Persian Constitutional Revolution constitutionalist Iranians came to view the U.S. as a "third force" in their struggle to break free of the humiliating British and Russian meddling and dominance in Persian affairs. It is even believed that such appointments were the result of contacts made by the Persian Constitutional revolutionaries with the executive branch of the US government, even though no official documents of such contacts exist. What is certain however is that Persia''s drive for modernizing its economy and liberating it from British and Russian influences had the full support of American industrial and business leaders.

Iran has never overthrown our government and imposed a dictatorship of their liking against our wishes.

Can we say the same?

We fit the description they''re giving us.
