Didnt i tell you guys that 2 groups dont like each other. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080518/ap_on_re_mi_ea/bin_laden_message Bin Laden singled out by name Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, whose 2006 war against Israel boosted the group's popularity among Shiites and Sunnis. Bin Laden said Nasrallah claimed he had enough resources, such as money and combatants, to fight Israel. "But the truth is the opposite," he said. "If he was honest and has enough (resources), why then he did not support the fight to liberate Palestine." He also attacked Nasrallah for allowing the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon "to protect the Jews." Sunni al-Qaida has also stepped up its criticism of Shiite Iran, the main backer of Hezbollah, accusing it of trying to dominate the Middle East. Bin Laden made no reference to the recent clashes in Lebanon between Shiite Hezbollah supporters and Sunni supporters of the U.S.-backed government. It was not clear whether his message was recorded before or after the violence broke out.
If you take a look at the history of Bin Laden especially during the 90s, in his speeches he is no different then Hitler was in the 40s both have/had world domination goals, both thought about the long range plan, Hitler means of world domination went through Europe, Bin Laden's through the middle east. Both are/were dangerous and shouldn't be taken lightly
Was mossadegh also dangerous? was he a hitler? Why did we take him out? I have always been the kind of person to look at things like this in a very unbiased way. Bin Laden would have been some nobody if we hadnt meddled in that region for oil. Now that region is a powder keg ready to explode. I sure am glad im gonna see ron paul in person this week
Mossadegh wasn't a hitler or even had global ambitions like Bin Laden, mossadegh had a lot of radical communist views, the fear was that he would allow russia in. Also its easy to be a monday morning quarterback and claim to be a person who looks at things in an unbiased way. When you mean meddle do you mean in Iraq or do you mean in Afghanistan in the 80s?
Show me where mossadegh was a communist, he was an anti communist if anything. The fact is that he was no threat to us whatsoever. He was more against russia then we were. Please read up on mossadegh more before making blanket statements about him with no facts whatsoever. The problem here is that our government played god all for the sake of oil, not because mossadegh was a national security threat. Iran was a very peaceful country when he was president. Imagine for one second that some country got involved in our presidential election and helped to assasinate or overthrow one candidate and install a very brutal, non elected official thatw as anti democracy and a monarch. How would you feel as an american towards that country if they did that to you. I know i can look at things in an unbiased way because i have critiseized all governments when i see something that is anti human. Im not a rah-rah guy and i have never been one. I have critisized our government, the iranian government and most others. It takes more then just waving a flag and chanting your countrys name to be a true patriot.
this simplistic view has created this alqada and sadam and many many other problems they were one of the enemies of our enemies. i hope that our govt can pass this simplistic view
My government is also the one who helped to overthrow the peacefull, democratically elected president of iran in the 1950's Doctor Mossadegh to control iran's oil and destroy any chances of democracy for the iranian people. This is your government also Bogart
