The Iranian Threat to America

[spywizard]

My replies to your baseless warmongering fearmongerng bullshit are in Bold above...

Actually.. it is our business if our interest or allies are attacked, and we do and will take action, we always have, and always will.

these types of threads are the reason we no longer have a political/religious forum.

This is a news item, not a stage for someone's isolationist thoughts and desires, i for one would support an isolationist and "containment" foreign policy, however with the fall of Russia, and the release of so much refined uranium, and uncontrolled release of information, we must not allow peasants, and thieves, and murderers that would force their will on the people of the world to go unchecked..

It's the bully on the playground, he must be put in check..

I would have expected you of all people to know the difference between "Isolationism" and "Non-Interventionism," as they are two completely and totally different things. I am not advocating isolationism by any means. I completely support trading with other nations and talking with them in diplomatic ways. What I do not support however is US intervention in their affairs, like overthrowing elected governments via the CIA, and killing 1 million people in the name of "Democracy." Things like those have consequences for us, they usually cause us more harm than good. The CIA itself (and im referencing Congressmen Paul here) has said that our actions cause a blowback effect. In essence, when we meddle in the affairs of the middle east, we cause unforseen side effects such as coddifying the resolve fo the terrorists and expanding their support base.

How can anyone in good conscience and of sound mind actually blame these people for hating us after all the pain, suffering, and death we have caused in the region? We cannot continually intervene in their affairs, kill people, and instill OUR WILL over the will of THEIR PEOPLE and expect there to be no negative consequences.

We have been intervening in their affairs since the 1940s&50s starting with the state of Israel and overthrowing Mossadeq in Iran. These people have years and years of hatred built up for us for what we have done. This "terrorist" problem didn't happen overnight, people didnt wake up one day and decide to start committing suicide bombings for no reason. It was a continual process, and we have pushed these people to the limit, and they are tired of our shit. Being able to understand your enemy is the first step in resolving conflicts, and its a shame that not many American citizens, politicians, or leaders are very interested in trying to do this. They are evil, we are good... Thats all I hear...
