- CannedMango, on 10/31/2007, -19/+108Hopefully this opens people's (squeezed shut) eyes when it comes to declaring other nations as "terrorist" nations. America claims this absurd high-ground that just doesn't exist when it comes to global politics and waves around threats of pre-emptive war, when most of the world knows that America is one of the greatest destabilizers of world peace there is.
- hiscity, on 10/31/2007, -17/+88Of course they have evidence. The US supported Bin Laden against the Soviets, just like the Russians are supporting Iranian terrorists now (state sponsors of terrorism).
- meshman, on 10/31/2007, -19/+80These days, I'd much more believe Iran than Chimpy McFlightSuit and Darth Cheney.
- Leopardess, on 11/01/2007, -18/+59Surely the Iranians are mistaken.
This seems so UnAmerican. - clownguyx, on 11/02/2007, -0/+34If we support them, then they are called freedom fighters. If Iran supports them, they are terrorists.
- quaxon, on 10/31/2007, -2/+34it doesnt take anybody to tell me america is a terrorist state, our history alone shows numerous examples of it.
- Ebacherville, on 11/02/2007, -9/+38the CIA trained Bin Lauden, the USA put sadam in power of iraq.. look it up its history and easly researchable.. this the exact same stuff just a different day!!! WAKE UP AMERICA we have to keep to our own business and not police the world!
Gosh and you wonder why I'm voting for RON PAUL.. - 3ugene, on 10/30/2007, -8/+37Isn't religion the main cause of war and terrorism? I mean besides the stuff that our government sponsors.
- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -5/+31oh yeah..we're all against you "true 'mericans"
Get bent you fascist *****. - Rahodeb, on 10/29/2007, -2/+27I hope the result of this is every nation claiming every other supports terrorism. That way, the ridiculousness of the term is exposed, because it's scope is way too broad. Anyone at any point with a beef can be described as a "terrorist", it's like calling a plant a "weed", it's only a weed because you don't want it there. I hope the term is so overused that it becomes useless as a definition for anything.
- jeremyduffy, on 10/31/2007, -4/+29Terrorist: One who utilizes the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve political objectives
They're right! Congress and the White House are full of them. - Frei, on 10/29/2007, -6/+30Are you claiming the Bush administration is an unbiased source?
- Frei, on 10/31/2007, -2/+25Iran didn't say that, their President did, a president who can't really make any decisions on his own. Our president thinks the world is 6 thousand years old and that the book of revelation is true. They're both idiots.
- Frei, on 10/31/2007, -2/+23If you're offering me the job at your local klan HQ I'll have to decline. I have too many teeth for the job.
- positron, on 10/29/2007, -3/+23Political ideology sustained by religious ignorance.
- lewhich, on 11/02/2007, -3/+22Actually, Condi said "if we don't support the terrorists, Iran will"
So I guess it is a case of first-come, first-serve - swrostmore, on 10/30/2007, -3/+21I doubt Iran has evidence any more than we have evidence of Iran backing terrorists. Doesn't mean its not happening, but governments love citing imaginary "evidence" which is coincidentally always too secret to show anyone.
- JohanLieberg, on 10/30/2007, -1/+19only idiots won't at least listen to both sides to decide for themselves what's right.. stop watching fox news... idiot..
- Frei, on 10/30/2007, -3/+21My very first report.
- bloqmon, on 10/30/2007, -1/+18/sarcasm possibly detected? going to comment anyhow ;]
America hasn't acted American since it was founded. Even Langston Hughes knew what was up, but because he disagreed with the status quo he was labeled an untrustworthy communist. Check out his poem "Let America Be America Again." - banq59, on 10/30/2007, -3/+20But you believe King Georgie and his crew of fools?
- tdelet, on 10/30/2007, -0/+17One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
- zeitgueist, on 10/31/2007, -1/+18You do realize that we supported Sadam's regime for a long time, and supported the al Qaeda in Afghanistan against the soviets, right? This isn't even a secret.
- TheLoneHoot, on 10/31/2007, -1/+18I question the patriotism of anyone who DOESN'T question their government
- Waiting2awake, on 10/31/2007, -1/+17You are allowed to question it - feel free to. Just don't get upset when they question yours.
- anarchytv, on 10/30/2007, -0/+15The U.S. government has always backed terrorism. Just take a look at CIA history, its rife with it. In fact, one guy did a whole huge bloody website on it... which gets taken down and goes back up, but you can always find copies of it again with a google search for "american state terrorism"
http://www.google.com/search?q=american+state+terr ... - inactive, on 11/03/2007, -2/+16Right now i am more willing to listen to Iran then the crap bush and his cronies have to say.
- Frei, on 10/29/2007, -2/+15I can't believe I'm going to humor this but hey, why not. Not liking the Israeli gov't and Zionism doesn't not a make someone an anti-Semite as much as you would like it. I love the US, I love it so much it disgusts me when it gets hijacked by a group of neo-con ***** who ***** on our values and integrity. ...The next just doesn't make sense and lastly, I don't really hate anyone. Sorry.
- mrjit, on 10/31/2007, -3/+16This guys preaching Christianity, and we all know Christianity is the beacon of light that would /never/ cause war. coughcrusadeswitchhuntscough.
- inactive, on 10/30/2007, -0/+13Well who isn't? You guys with Bush and Co has given the world a million reason to hate them.
- banq59, on 10/30/2007, -2/+15And the US invades countries to get their oil killing thousands of innocent men women and children. What's your point?
- tehnico, on 10/30/2007, -1/+14The US actively sponsored and committed terrorism in it's past, it's easy to say that it does today as well. It was a popular belief long before Iran ever alleged it. I am positive that it will be confirmed in the future one way or another.
- DirtyBurger, on 10/31/2007, -3/+16Although whatever Iran says about any other country should be taken with a grain of salt, it's not entirely impossible. All we have to do is look at history. Look at what happened in Afganistan when they (Afghanis) were fighting the Russians! The CIA trained and armed Osama Bin Laden and his group the Taliban to fight the communist Russians! And oops, oh dear, I guess the almighty U.S. just forgot to ask for the guns and tanks back. And now look what's happening. And sure, executing a 16 year old girl for being immoral is barbaric. But then again so is holding your own and other citizens illegally and without charges in secret prisions WITHOUT legal representation. The United States' foreign policy is so hypcritical and backwards, that it's almost impossible to believe you didn't see Sept. 11th coming. You are not the world police. Stop acting like it.
- tankdilla, on 10/31/2007, -7/+19It's no secret the US supports terrorists. Condoleeza Rice even admitted it.
- clownguyx, on 10/30/2007, -0/+12Tin foil hat? He stated facts. Those are not theories, you can learn this stuff watching the history channel. Except I'm not sure if he is correct about putting Sadam in power, but we definitely funded him and provided him with weapons for the Iraq/Iran war.
- tehnico, on 10/31/2007, -0/+12Duh...
- NinjaBoy, on 10/31/2007, -8/+19Digg him down if you must but he does have a valid point. You cant trust iran any more than you can trust bush. EVERY government will lie if it benefits them
- schroeder, on 10/29/2007, -2/+13The American public isn't self-hating, they're Bush Administration/war hating. Open your goddamned eyes man!
- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -7/+17Got proof to the contrary?
- guntario, on 10/31/2007, -0/+10So if we the people have lost faith in the government, that makes us traitors? Shouldn't it be the other way around? People who make statements such as yours really scare me. You sound too much like one of the Party members in 1984.
- UomodiRispetto, on 10/30/2007, -0/+10"Three people may keep a secret if two of them are dead."
Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac - hafniOum, on 10/30/2007, -0/+10hmmm the guy's right, pal. US did supported Bin Laden they even did the same thing with Saddam Hussein when they were against Iran in the '80.
- Daedalus81, on 10/29/2007, -1/+10I think the real question is if we "created" him. The support was there whether directly or indirectly. The Department of State says no, but who are you going to believe?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghani ...
A similar movement occurred in the Muslim world, bringing contingents of so-called Afghan Arabs, foreign fighters recruited from the
Muslim world to wage jihad against the nonbelieving communists. Notable among them was a young Saudi named Osama bin Laden, whose Arab group eventually evolved into al-Qaeda. Most observers including the US government and ISI maintain US support was controlled by the Pakistani ISI and limited to the indigenous Afghan mujahideen, and that participation in the conflict by Osama bin Laden and other Afghan Arabs was unrelated to CIA programs. - stgben, on 10/30/2007, -0/+8"Don't think for themselves..."
This is exactly what the Bush Administration would like you to do when it comes to seeing Iran as a terrorist nation. Actually listening to both sides and hearing the FACTS is thinking for yourself. Digging this post down because it involves Iranian intelligence is not thinking for yourself. - theaceoffire, on 10/30/2007, -1/+9Sadly, I think your right.
I just wish there was one group that DIDN'T lie all the time. - Frei, on 10/29/2007, -6/+14"As long as we have the guns, all they have the power to do is vent in digg threads."
Dude, you are hilarious. - GabrielS, on 10/30/2007, -3/+11lol, it's worse than I thought.
Iran thinks the United States condones the PKK attacks launched inside Turkey.
"Iran's new chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, made the allegation in comments to visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan, whose country may soon send troops to hunt down Kurdish guerrillas in northern Iraq."
Iran is trying to sell a bag of tricks to Turkey. Iran is trying to push Turkey into closing down the US supply line from the north of Iraq.
Iran doesn't have a very strong record on treatment of it's Kurdish minority since the deposing of the Shah. - hllclmbr, on 10/29/2007, -0/+8Dead Turks?
or...
So they bought some airplane tickets, who gives a *****? - freezeout, on 10/30/2007, -1/+9see here's the thing - when we back them they are no longer "terrorists", they are "freedom fighters". of course the second they are of no use to us they become terrorists again..
- inactive, on 10/31/2007, -9/+17Do you by chance still believe in Santa Claus?
