i have a feeling that it does not matter as really if the US and other countries want a start a war.

    my questions is not does iran support terrorism. my questions is does it matter. some people believe that this is news bias while others will say this is true.

    Seems to me, that the capture of an Iranian convoy within the borders of Afghanistan full of weapons would be worthy of showing to the American public. It would damn sure help in separating the facts from unverifiable propaganda.

    Honestly, wouldn't you like to be able to say "look you liberal fucks" told you so!!!! SEE, SEE, do you SEEEEEE THIS?

    how does one beat the other. is it impossible for 2 countries to support terrorists.

    or does one (US) make it OK for the other (Iran) to do it.

    Why is it OK for us or our allies to support terrorism, but not Iran?

    That's the point I'm trying to make. The US government will criticize Iran for supporting terrorist organizations but at the sametime we are also doing the same. Maybe we should practice what we preach.

    The Defense Dept. has been running members of Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), a group placed on the State Department's list of terrorist organizations back in 1997, for covert actions in Iran since as early as 2004.

    i was responding to your first point that said that the US has been doing it alot longer and reading that comment to what you quoted. it looked like you said the reason that people don't believe that Iran is supporting Afgan is becasue the us has been doing it longer.

    yet again, it seems liek we are saying that because teh US supports terrorist it's Ok then that IRan does.

    let's try a test: instead of saying teh US does it or iran does it, lets try to find solution as to ways in which we can fix it ( if possible)

    No one is saying that because we do it it is OK for Iran to do it. I think people are pointing out the blatant hypocracy of the US. I'm pretty sure that I speak for everyone here when I say that none of us approves of any country supporting terrorism or terrorist organizations.

    Let's say that Iran invaded and occupied Mexico...
    Don't you think the U.S. would be shipping supplies to the Mexican insurgents fighting them there? Would that be wrong?

    if you notice, the topic is Afganastan. some might say that this was not an invasion as it was a war. now if the topic was Iraq, i would agree with you.

    Who was supplying Afgan when the Russians were there? The world is a pretty small place when your eyes are closed.
