    Once again, trying to deflect by picking out any single piece of information you can to distract away from the conversation.

    WEAPONS FROM IRAN TO YEMEN WERE TAKEN BY THE US, ENOUGH TO KILL LOTS OF PEOPLE, 3 PLANES AND 150 TANKS.

    Get over your fawning of Iran, or at least the hatred of anything successful during the Trump administration, for just five seconds.

    Iran is still trying to fund proxy wars, this is 100% proven fact. These weapons were sent to do so.

    Now, they will not be able to do so.

    Yet STILL, you find ways to "deconstruct" yourself out of being happy that horrible people are losing.

    Now feel free to insert your lame comment about how Trump is the horrible one, i'll wait.

    So help me out here.
    We sell arms to SA so they can bomb Yemen hospitals, but Iran can't sell weapons to Yemen to fight SA.
    I don't know about you, but I think that's F'ed up.

    Saudi Arabia are far bigger terrorists than Iran - regardless of whether or not they are our friends.

    Your claim that the 911 attackers did not have the blessing of the Saudi Establishment is nonsense. We have no idea who blessed who.

    What we do know - for a fact - is that Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, the nut jobs in Pakistan and India - and many other extremist Islamist groups all over the world - ALL - share the same Saudi Inspired extremist Islamist ideology.

    El Saud has been exporting this ideology around the world for many decades - supporting and in some cases arming these groups.

    The children in Saudi Arabia are taught to hate Jews, Christians -and even other Muslims who do not share the insane Saudi ideology - and of course the western infidel and the dreaded "Secularism".

    Get it ? :)

    You show a public school education, for sure. Neither country was utterly destroyed. Sigh.

    Iran is a pool of terrorism.

    We have the right to protect our interest anywhere we must.

    It's twisted to call for the destruction of an entire country. Millions of kids, mothers, grandmothers, fathers ... all just going about their daily chores of
    life ... and 2,000 miles away, someone is calling for their death. Trumpism at it's finest.

    No. They weren't. Industrial centers were bombed - that leaves thousands of smaller cities and towns that were only hit in sporadic sections in Germany.
    Japan is composed of four islands with hundreds of small cities - most were untouched by the bombings. Japan had a population of about 70 million or which about 2 million soldiers and civilians died during the war. Don't know where you get this idea that we "utterly destroyed" the countries.

    Yes, blame Iran and their 'death to America' extremism, they are the most dangerous country on earth and whining about the US/Britain cut no ice when you look at the repellent regime they have today.

    Iranian students took hostages, no one was assaulted or killed. (Unless you want to count the failed rescue attempt, which had nothing to do with the Iranians).

    The coup took place in November, the shah did not leave Iran until December; can you substantiate the statement that he "blessed" the hostage-taking?

    Before 1979, came 1953.
    WE (MI6/CIA) attacked/assassinated/murdered their elected president.

    Again, you can support this assertion? Or is this wishful thinking?

    Let us assume: a man arrives at your tent and says I will make you and your sons Kings of all that you can see, guardians of the holy sites, honored above all Believers, but you must do something for me. You must build me a Warrior like no other, he must not be killed by scimitar or arrow, but grows with every blow.

    You take your new kingdom and begin to build that special warrior, investing vast resources, treasure, indoctrination and global spread. You put together that Frankenstein, seething and bloodthirsty. Now what do you do with it?

    It's a fair guess that you would not leave the abomination you created inside your own walls; I posit that you would force him from the gate to plunder amongst the villagers.

    That murderous beast has a name, Wahhabism.

    It was birthed in the sands of Arabia, educated in duplicity and the art of war on the teat of the profits paid by westerners. If that doesn't make your head spin your neck is too stiff.

    There are 1.8 Billion muslims in the world today...10% of them are Not Sunnis taking their cues from Wahhabist Arabia.

    Nations do not have friends, they have interests.

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend...because that's in my interest.
    Oh yes, I most assuredly do.

    And if you do, the cognitive dissidence going off in your brain sounds like Quasimodo's bells!!!

    WTFH have our leaders dragged us into?!?!

    You are already at the bottom of the pool, Rugglestx; your argument is already water-logged and sunk.

    1. We did no such thing, Mossadeg was deposed and lived in exile until 1965!

    2. You're flannelling, the Saudi government had nothing to do with 9/11, its' individual citizens did. Otherwise the US is responsible for the Irish Troubles because dumb Irish American Catholics gave money to THEIR terrorists?

    Aren't the children in Iran taught to hate the same people except that the insane ideology is Shia?

    I stand corrected. I'd say I have no idea where I got that notion but I do. I was duped, and I failed to go back and verify. My bad.

    you don't know that.

    But at any rate, I did not say that some KSA government official signed the marching orders for the 9/11 hijackers. I said, and I maintain, that it is the state supported wahhabism that created the monster that attacked us that day.
    non sequitur.
    A did not cause B does not mean that C did not cause D.

    I do know that because there is no evidence whatsoever for that assertion and everything to the contrary, not least AQ are trying to overthrow the Saudi government. You cannot say that the Saudi mainstream religion is responsible for its' extremist elements, that's like blaming Southern Baptists for the Klu Klux Klan.
    My analogy is correct, you cannot blame a nation state for the actions of its' individual citizens, that's the difference between Saudi and Iran, in Iran it's the government, people draw a false comparison in order to try to excuse Iran rather than grasp the nettle of condemning it.

    But... weren't these nations (and Russia which joined with Germany in starting WWII)
    fighting the good fight against American Imperialism and Aggression?

    are you stating that you have evidence for every government manipulation on the globe, and that if you don't hold such evidence then the manipulation has never occurred?
    sir, that is not on the contrary, that is the proof.
    I noted in my first post that the beast must be sent outside; the natural implication being, if left inside, it would consume its very makers!
    Oh yes I can.. have... And will continue to do so.
    incorrect. that would be like me blaming the US govt for the Southern Baptists (and you stating that all KKK are southern baptist).
    Your analogy is spot on IF you delete Iran and insert KSA.

    My defense of Iran was that the students did not kill any hostages.

    Stop the nonsense.

    Both Iran and SA are nations that commit world wide terror.

    The big four Allied powers of World War II were England (Great Britain, the United Kingdom), the United States of America, the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R. , Russia), and France.

    I'm not sure that Iran projects itself worldwide, but your point is taken nonetheless. They have certainly shown themselves to be a regional player (with a very dangerous ally)!
