    Everybody knows that, but they are an offshoot of al-Qaeda and have the stated objective of achieving something similar in the United States. Now, I'm against that.

    Well, we have a madman at the helm right now, so foreign policy is going to be more than a little crazy until we can get rid of him.

    But then why is your Prime Minister supporting him?

    They are an excuse for perpetuating the military industrial complex. Quit cheerleading for war on behalf of billionaires dude.

    We keep doing it over and over yet we don't actually claim the lands we invade.

    Why?

    Because we can keep the wars going endlessly so they can make more money.

    The middle east should be all one American territory after so many decades of war. (If there was really an excuse for us to be there that is)

    If we install puppet dictators we can essentially own a country and rape their resources while still looking like good guys who don’t “conquer” in a traditional sense. We’re just trying to restore peace is all.

    I guess you never saw people leaping to their death from great heights just to get a last gasp of fresh air before they hit the ground during the fires in the World Trade Center. Me? I'm going to do whatever I have to to see that it never happens again.

    We ALL saw the horror of 9/11. It was utterly impossible not to be aware of it. But I personally blame our government and our “intelligence” community more than I blame the Islamic whackjobs because (I sincerely believe) they saw it coming and they let it happen, either willfully or stupidly. It was the perfect excuse to topple a thorn in our side AND turn almost unimaginable profits by the military industrial complex. It was the same kind of shit that has gone on ever since the end of WWII. Money, money, money. If you honestly want to see that it never happens again, then hold your government responsible for criminal malfeasance......

    It was obviously from stupidity. No one would want to wish the kind of horror we faced on 9-11 on our worst enemy.

    Blazer4ever, the controlled news media in the U.S. never allows us to hear from Israelis like you, whom I'm sure are numerous. Please inform us of what the other side of Israel thinks.

    So you are an extremist without limits.

    And yet in your post which I just quoted, you wished upon your enemy what they got--tens of thousands tortured, millions of deaths, denial of pharmaceuticals killing a half-million children, etc.

    The difference is Al Qaeda vs. Taliban. Americans are denied the freedom to read what the opponents of the U.S. believe, so I don't understand the difference, though U.S. war propaganda keeps saying there is a difference. I suspect that Al Qaeda is more intellectual and theoretical, and Taliban more practical because they actually lead a country (unofficially, and apparently will again officially after current negotiations conclude).

    You are unaware of American sanctions on Iran? There are articles everyday proudly crowing over the decrease in standard of living that sanctions will soon cause. Read the news before you belittle as being crazy, those more informed than you.

    Let’s just say, how can I put this?, I’m not unaware of what’s going on, but my sources are not CNN. :dunno:
    I’m also unaware which part of sanctions deal with raping Iran for their resources or building a US empire centered in Tehran.
    I’m further unaware of what fresh new things are threatening Iran. The sanctions started in November. And the rial had been getting crushed for a year before that apart from any sanctions or lifted sanctions. I guess funding terrorist organizations isn’t the economic boon it once was?
    Finally, I’m unaware which part of the behavior the sanctions were levied against is imperialist. We decided about 75 years ago that genocide was not a good thing. Much of the world agreed. If one doesn’t, especially based on what one reads from the “news”, I can’t help you.
