Well, let''s see, we had Prescott Bush and his wealthy US friends who helped Hitler to power, and sold the fuel for the Nazi war machine, and on the other side the US embargo on Japan is now recognized as provoked by the US to create a reason to enter a war that the rich wanted, but the non-rich people did not.

You must have flunked history.

So let me get this stratigh Iran helps us and John wants to bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. Only like 22 more days until we elect Obama/Biden and then just a few more of Bushco and we can try to get this country back on track.

Neo cons you will be out for a generation get used to it.

Unless of course we''re talking about US neocons, they have only one concept of accomodating different views, kill everyone who disagrees with them.

Well, it seems Iran may have learned it''s lesson during the recent saber rattling by Bush and McSame, it is a safe bet they won''t make the mistake of helping US Republican - led, war mongering governments ever again.

formrusmcsgt,

Dems don''t hate America, they just don''t like pro-corporation, bible-thumping provincials who contradict themselves all the time.

[formrusmcsgt]

Democrats Hate America as much as any terrorist Group and now O''''Sama O''''Bama will run the country in the way of the Muslim Terrorists.

Anyone who contends that only conservatives are patriots is deluded.

Another country that deserves credit for helping the US against Al Qaeda is Syria.
But the US simply reacts against it without much thought in the same way it does with Iran and it did with Saddam''s Iraq.
The common thread between these three countries is their vocal opposition to Israel. Of course all Arab and Middle Eastern countries dislike Israel and what''s doing with the Palestinians very much but it''s these three countries who don''t mind protesting about it in public.
Saudi Arabia, the gulf states, Egypt and so on they pretty much keep the discussion private although once in a while they might rebuke Israel through the press but nothing like Saddam, Iran and Syria.
In view of how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is strictly about land and not about an ideological movement trying to impose some kind of "superior" philosophy like the Nazis tried on Europe, I think it''s wrong to judge the character of a country, or a person, by how critical they are of Israel.
In fact, it is Israel who more resembles an ideological movement than the Palestinians. Zionism was created in Europe at a time when European powers were colonizing the world over and it''s been put to practice over the dead bodies of thousands of Palestinian nationals of all faiths and creed.
To wish for the end of Zionism does not mean wishing for the extermination of the Jewish people, in the same way that wishing for the end of the Soviet Union didn''t mean a desire to exterminate Russians.

maybe now you guys finally get it that bush is the axis of evil, and why Iran has taken such a strong stance against us.

[connapa]

Let us also not forget that we supplied Sadam and Iraq with lots of military hardware and munitions for their wars against Iran- all as revenge for the hostage crisis. We''ve done plenty for them not to trust us over the years.

[stn_sage]

So why tell us THIS, NOW?!
This administration has done nothing but attack Iran, now they''re passing a story like this to the press?
And, you guy are printing it?
Do you think someone is getting ready to attack them, and this administration is ''making nice'' to obscure the fact THEY are behind the attack?!

[babooph]

What happened -the propaganda system is normaly not allowed such a story ??

[ramos937]

James F. Dobbins, the Bush administration''s chief negotiator on Afghanistan in late 2001, said Iran was "comprehensively helpful" in the aftermath of the 9-11 attack in 2001 in working to overthrow the Taliban militias'' rule and collaborating with the United States to install the Karzai government in Kabul.

Iranian diplomats made clear at the time they were looking for broader cooperation with the United States, but the Bush administration was not interested, the author of "After the Taliban: Nation-Building in Afghanistan," said in a separate interview.

------------------------------------

This is no surprise. Many countries that symphatized with us immediately after 9/11 are now either our enemies are do not like us because of Bush policies. I hope Obama has the good sense to reach out to them early.

Saudi Arabia, a US ally, does the same thing. Where is your outrage? Amazing though that the few times we got to hear about it, the protests of many made that government stop.

[jasonking4]

The USA and UK overthrew Iran''s legitimate democratically elected government in the 1950s, because Iran wanted to nationalise their oil industry. They then installed a tyrant who with the assistance of his secret police tortured and killed thousands of its citizens. Thats why Iranians hate the US Government (not its citizens).

We owe the Iranians a massive apology and reparations for all the illegal acts done in the name of the US Government.

Xentpro: history didn''t start 7 years ago.

[rudy654-2009]

Big surprise there. I mean, anyone who knew about Al Qaeda would know that both Iraq and Iran hated Al Qaeda. If Bush had gone about it differently, even Saddam Hussein would have went after Al Qaeda. But no, we were getting told that Al Qaeda and Saddam were one in the same. And most Bush worshipers don''t know that Iranians aren''t Arabs and most certainly distrust Al Qaeda which is ARAB.

Now Iraq is a mess. The Christian Arabs who were living decently before the US invasion, are now the victims of all kinds of Muslim fringe groups that run all over the country side looking for fresh new victims. And the present government of Iraq even has made provision for Shariah Laws.

[pete_in_az]

don''t forget the base and taliban are arch enemies of iran. if you want peace in the middle east force olmert to keep good on his decision to give back the west bank and east jerusalem, cut ties with saudi, and embrace our real friends in the middle east iran.

yeah i said iran.

open your eyes people, we have been engaging in policies that perpetuate the problem, not solve them. iran is the super power in the middle east capable of bringing peace, not US (sic).

[mainedoggie]

Ew yea, this is a real "tick in the ear" for the bush administration.

Welcome to Kennebunkport Maine you ******.

[mainedoggie]

Not a real shocker is it.

People who have their head out of the sand, understand the culprits are bred, raised, and taught in Saudi Arabia. Mostly friends of the bush crime family and PNAC which explains why these thugs continue to walk the face of the planet.

Not for much longer though...
