So therefore chopping people's heads off is a definition of terrorism...thanks for helping me make my point!!!
I love that resource. You beat me to it. I'd like to point out that according to the definition, the killing of people who leave a faith is therefore terrorism. But by the same token, the IRS is a terrorist force as any congressman that even hints at trying to create some reform there is under the threat of an IRS audit that will take him down.
That could be true if your the terrorist Iranian government. Yes they might feel they are being terrorised, but is terrorising terrorists terrorism? & if it is terrorism is it justified terrorism?
Terrorism is always wrong, otherwise the other side can use the same argument that their use of terrorism is justified because USA is terrorizing the world.
So Iran can justify wiping Israel off the map or saying as much along with trying to build a nuclear weapons because the USA is terrorising the world & that would be a valid point? Iran is terrorising Israel, which you state is wrong with your comment "Terrorism is always wrong" yet it doesn't seem to bother you, but when the USA takes action against these people they are terrorists
How is Iran terrorizing Israel? Do they have any military capacity to wipe Israel off the map? Who is the nuclear power among those two, Israel or Iran? Empty propaganda speeches are not terrorism.
I think this shows your approval of Iran and disapproval of Israel...figures. BTW, Israel "might" have a bomb, no one has ever confirmed it to my knowledge.... forcing them to do what? protect themselves? remove a dictator? Not sure where you are going with this argument, in that as usual, it is incomplete of facts. Par for the course gw.
Just because Iran doesn't have that capacity to wipe the whole of Isreal off the map is simply not a good excuse to bury your head in the sand & get complacent about what Iran could or couldn't do, side up with Iran, go on a crazy DP posting mission about how bad the USA is or believe just because Iran does not have the means that wiping Isreal off the map is not what they want... Tell that to the Israelis & while your at it tell Iran that the USA floating a few boats near to Iran is not a warning, they are merely floating in the sea... And who are you to say it was an empty propaganda speech?
Nah, I'd never change places with you. I couldn't live with all the hatred you have pent up from years of shooting blanks! Where's your house boy?
Anyone can want what ever they wish for, there is no law against it. In fact USA is one of few countries in the western world that holocaust denial is not illegal and it is protected under free speech. This means that an American can take Iran's president speech about Holocaust and read it in the middle of street in Washington and he has committed no crime. I can want, wish and pray that all my enemies are killed but as long as I don't do anything about it, there is no law against it. Floating a few boats is an action and while it is an attempt to terrorize other countries, as long as those boats stay inside the international water, they have done nothing illegal.
True but if the comments made are aggressive or threatening then action could be taken against that country & that's their problem. Good! Nothing illegal, nothing wrong
So you support terrorists because they are acting according to your instructions against USA as a result of of their aggressive and threatening policies.
i cant understand why nations like usa and israel have the right to have nuclear bombs, and not iran ? this is the law of the jungle, the strongest dictate the law, that is exactly what USA us is dowing.
