Those bastards, let's nuke 'em.
3) Funding of terrorists groups
Cut off all financial ties and freeze all assets of Iranian companies.
4) Importing of weapons that kill our soldiers.
Didn't the US arm Saddam to kill Iranian soldiers?
5) "war rhetoric"..."Death to America"
Bush speaks of WWIII and turning Iran to glass. He says the same thing, but, for once, more eloquently.
Just to name a few.........

Now if WE were to have a "Fuck Iran" day in the U.S. where school children gathered and chanted "Death to the Persians"......there would be a sizable portion of the people hear screaming bloody murder.
Agreed, we are much too worried about political correctness these days. I'm in for a little chanting, but I much prefer..."Iran Sucks".

Where are these people in Iran? DO NOT even try to convince me that the ENTIRE country is of this sentiment.

Iran is not exactly a free society. It would be nice to see some of the moderate Muslims get some face time on al-Jazzera, but moderation does not equal ratings.

This was a state sponsored event and it was wrong! Is it so hard for the left in here to state such a thing?

The Iraq War was also a state sponsored event and it has killed many more then an assembly of Iranians chanting "Death To America".

BTW, I am not a lefty. I'm a Reagan Republican, that is anti-Neo-Con.

Have a good one!:s4:
It's not just Iran exporting hatred. Dialogue with our enemies is much more important than with our allies.
