Interesting, but considering that the US has attacked more countries since 1971 than Iran has since 1736, I'm not so sure we should be comparing records if we want to make ourselves look good

Your list is sorely in need of being updated/corrected, for it is incorrect, as I originally mentioned.

It is historical fact, especially in the case of Iran: aka: the Persian Empire, etc. As for India's acts of aggression being "neglegable." That is when compared to Iran's? China? Egypt? Greece? Rome? The US?

How about this:
The US total acts of aggression over its short history are "neglegable" when compared to Iran's long 3000 year history?

I am counting more that 12 names on this simplified map, you?
THE PERSIAN WARS
as posted by Sep
I think (please prove me wrong) that these areas belonged either to Babylon, Lydia and Egypt all of which I mentioned .

The link I provided with the map explained this.
The whole area in blue is the extent of the Persian Empire, and those who Persia conquered [acts of aggression] to obtain/acquire that empire, Sep.
Persia [ie: Persepolis] is on the map and is the starting point. Every other name, other than Persia, on that map are the regional or national tribal, sects, etc beaten by Persia in creating that vast Persian Empire.
Originally posted by Sep The US during the past 15 years, bombed Sudan, bombed Iraq, invaded Iraq, invaded Afghanistan and bombed Serbia. That’s five off the top of my head during the last 15 years. If we go back I am sure I could find more.

Iran has a leader who was part of the Iranian US hostage problem.

Their whole culture is anti american, how many north korean suicide bombers have you heard of.
Originally posted by Munro_DreadGod
But its not the what I think that counts. In my opinion and it is only my opinion, Iran as you said is building these weapons to defend against attack from well the US. The US sees Iran building a long range (hit the US) weapon system and with Nuclear capability. You don't think the US might just feel a tad bit nervous enough to do something about it.

As for Iran being anti American, come on what planet you living on you really need me to argue that point. Ok if it'll make you happy The people apart from the 50,000 suicide martyr volunteers love america its just the leaders that don't. LMAO and oh yeh the fact that Iran possibly might be entertaining leaders of al-Qaida. Whats that old saying 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' well loads of hits on that one too.
