Iranian issue is heating up like it or not

[Don Corleone]

By the way, what has Iran done to be 'aggressive'? If Iran had invaded Canada to liberate it, you can bet your arse the US would be supporting the freedom fighters in Canada.

The targeting of Iran is payback for all the money the corporations lost out on when the Shah (who was a brutal tyrant, by the way-- king of kings my ), was overthrown by a populist movement. The new government basically said "" to the global conglomerates and British Petroleum who had been exploiting them for years. The US has been wanting to exploit Iran since the 50s. History is good for ya !

The analogy you make above is not accurate. If the USA started arming people of English descent in Canada, and whipping them up into a frenzy, telling them to go kill all Canadians of Scottish & Irish descent, then I think the world would have an issue with us.

If we wanted to hurt Iran, we could do better than what we're currently doing. For starters, we would an embargo against them (we currently only have self-enforced trade sanctions). In other words, we would enact trade sanctions against any country that deals with Iran, we don't do that.

I understand the sentiments of the rabidly anti-US crowd out there. I really do. The US government has a lot to answer for. However, I do not understand how people who claim to be pacifists can possibly think a nuclear armed Iran is a good idea, when they have as much as said that they will use them the very first chance they get.
