Have you listened to their President recently?
Calling for the destruction of a race of people? Saying they will be whiped off the face of the earth? Refusing to properly negotiate about nuclear weapons?

Just a mocking commentary of George W. But since you brought it up, sounds like you are talking about Israel, North Korea, India and Pakistan

Yeah, how dare they depose their US installed dictator. After all the US was just protecting the wests oil interests. Perhaps you'd rather the USA be called the United States of Altruism?

I wonder how it looks in Iran when the world's only superpower, led by a deeply religious christian, attacks the two muslim countries beside them, threatens them and is reportedly considering tactical nuclear strikes where they live, in addition to calling them evil.

Funny how the only 'axis' country not being threatened or attacked is the only one with nukes and delivery systems. You'd have to excuse them for thinking actual nukes is the only way to preserve their sovereignty.

I'm not saying there aren't serious problems in Iran, but the hypocrisy sometimes makes me sick. I don't have any evidence but I've never heard of Iran hating the US until after their ~26 year stint under the shah.

Comrad,

The USA is certainly at fault for the Shah of Iran who was put in place and held in place by Democrat and Republican Presidents, and the Iranians had every right to remove him. But that does not excuse them from invading a foreign country's embassy. Embassies are foreign territory and an invasion of those territories is an act of WAR. They had no compunction to do so is very telling about the way they act.


Unless you have lived in a cave the invasion and fight in Afghanistan has involved a lot of countries trying to help a fledgeling democracy fight for it's survival. The USA didn't invade them because they were Muslim nor because Bush is Christian. You really have to be jaded to believe that invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were due to them being Muslim and/or Bush being Christian.


As for being called Evil...27 years of horrid actions certainly rate being called evil.


As for hypocracy of not taking out North Korea. It isn't hypocracy not to have a massive loss of life. NK even without nukes would unleash a holocaust on South Korea. Seoul is within range of 10,000 long range artillary pieces that would flatten it within hours. 10 million people live in Seoul. There is no way to prevent that by any military means. The cost would be too high for any sane human. There is also economic reasons. South Korea is in fact "propping up" the north simply because it's economy cannot handle the joining of the two. They saw what happened to Germany on reunification and know their economy would be devastated.
