Yep, don't we all. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that we've been meddling in their region for decades. :thumbsup: Of course that doesn't make terrorism right, so any of you right wingers about to accuse me think again, but it does give some perspective on WHY they hate us.

Do you really think they hate us because we're "free" (which we aren't btw.) Or do you think it is to do with a) Our part in overthrowing a democratically voted republic with military force to install the Shah, who killed hundreds of thousands and went on to be one of the most evil leaders of our generation, and b) Invading Iraq under the premise of finding weapons of mass destruction, finding none, killing a ridiculous amount of people, building military bases near the Iranian border, and taking Iraqi oil for ourselves.

I can kinda understand Afghanistan, but why Iraq? Really why. To get rid of Saddam? That's a good thing but our government would never do that. They would never spend THIS much money if that was their agenda. So why?

My opinion is we are slowly taking over sections of the middle East. Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran is next. And our military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq will help IMMENSELY. This was their plan to begin with. How can it not be? Do you really think it is a coincidence that there are military bases in Iraq closer to Iranian cities than Iraqi cities? Where is the logic behind that. I really wish someone would answer these questions. Forget the conspiracies and forget the bullshit - the fact is you must be BLIND not to see what is going on. I don't pretend to be enlightened or a know-it-all, but it's damn near obvious. Look back in history and anaylse our present situation. We tend to repeat ourselves an awful lot, even in our so called civilized society.

We invade Iran and we continue to feed the minds of terrorists. Iran aren't going to start a nuclear war. Noone is. Except maybe us.
