Iran is pretty much synonymous with terrorism.... I don't care if you just LOVE Iran, you'd still be hard pressed to tell me that you don't think that Iran getting nukes will go hand in hand with terrorists being armed with nukes...
THAT is the crux of the issue. There is no hypocracy here...

Bodrul its based on a couple things, the fact that oil is/may be running out, the fact that America is becomming more militaristic and empiric, (is empiric a word?:lol
The fact that the millitary gap between us and everyone else is getting so big that pretty soon we will be able to destroy half the world and take over the other half. The fact that over 90% of americans are chrisitans. Take your pick.

You can for a little while bodrul, the roman empire exapanded for over 1000 years. nd they had no where near the logistical, transportational, or destructive capabillities we do.
None of the empires you mentioned had the abillity to move men and material around the world within days. None had the abillity to launch attacks from orbit.
When and how does Iran support a terrorist group ? Don't give me the israel-propaganda Hizbollah line. The Hizbollah is the democratic elected leader of the libanese people, who have suffered endlessly under israeli occupation and bombs.

If Iran was capable of manufacturing nuclear weapons, you can bet that Hizbollah and a host of other groups would soon also have access to purchase these weapons....and that is what all the fuss is about. As for them not having biologics...that's a joke. Of course they do...they just haven't been stupid enough to use them yet...(as the renumeration for that would be incalculable...)
if that was true why have hazbollah not been armed with some of Irans bio weapons since they are ready to arm them with nukes,
my bad forgot iran have a limit to how much support they give.
dont say things that you know
that have no ground

Iran is a peaceful nation who for the last 50 years was raped by it's own countries leaders, not the US. When Khomeni came home from exile to power they kidnapped Americans. How goddamn peaceful is that.

Now, just to be fair, we as countries
1. Both support terror and/or various guerilla orgs around the globe and througout history
2. Radical relgious beliefs exist in both countries with century old wounds and wars

The US and and the Soviet union knew that if they ever used a weapon, that it was the end of all times, but that is not hte case in the middle east. The Soviets were rational in the fact that they would not sacrafice their country for a win, but Islam beleives they have nothing to lose. That is the fear I have, that comon sense will be replaced with religious fever and create a World War unlike anything the world has seen.
It will take a nuke, and then you will see every nation from China to NK to Paki to Turkey ready to blow the # out of anyone and anything that comes near their country. You will see power grabs and a groundwar like WW2 in proportion. The world as a whole cannot let countries have the abilites to create nuclear weapons. We cannot change the fact that they exist, but if the UN or IAEA cannot step in and truly stop it from happeneing, doesn't someone have to?

You're assuming of course, that they don't have such weapons...an assumption equally as groundless as you are stating mine to be...
Look, I'm not keen on more wars either... And this increasing rhetoric against Iran leading to Paladin Bush's eventual attack on Iran isn't pleasing to contemplate. We somehow "elected" this moron again, and now he has free reign to pursue his agenda. But to deny that Iran cranking out nukes won't have them going to terrorists...??? Please...

You just answered your own question....
Would you call the DELIBERATE targetting of civilians to the EXCLUSION of armed combatants terrorism? I certainly would.
Do you deny that Hizbollah has committed such acts?
Do you further deny that Iran supports Hizbollah?
Sorry, but I don't care how desparate you believe your situation to be, there is NO justification for terrorism.
