Seriously, is it not blatant the US govt is doing nothing but creating an enemy we're supposed to be scared of?.. out of a nation 6000 miles away that hasn't attacked anyone in generations, and the elite previously illegally overthrew?
Do you mean except for invading Iraq, giving money and arms to Hamas to attack Lebanon and Israel, and supporting Syria in the development of their own nukes, assassinating Lebanese elected leaders? Arming and training Hezbollah to destabilize the Lebanese government and attack Israel in Gaza?
Or, taking Americans hostage from a diplomatic station?

Other than that, I guess they're pacifists.

lol iran invaded iraq?.. sure. Nothing you described is an act of war against the US, all nations do wet work, its no secret.
The US supports terrorists groups, the rogue nation of israel, assassinates people found guilty of nothing, kidnaps, tortures innocent people denied due process, overthrows govts.. as well as launches illegal wars of occupation. You could say by iran doing some of the same things, on a smaller scale, they are mimicking the american way. The only difference is the US commits these insults to humanity while claiming to be the beacon of freedom, laws and hope...
Just in case you though the US was above terrorism, it's official policy.
"Terrorism" defined: in the Code of Federal Regulations as “...the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85)
Special Forces Unconventional Warfare Operations: overthrowing governments, sabotage, subversion, intelligence and abduction, FM 3-05.201, just happens to advise sf troops how to go to other nations and commit acts considered "terrorism" by US law. One nations hero is another nations terrorist.
1-4 Sabotage is an act or acts with intent to injure or obstruct the national defense of a nation by willfully damaging or destroying any national defense or war materiel, premises, or utilities, including human and natural resources.
1-5. Subversion is any action designed to of a regime. All elements of the resistance organization contribute to the subversive effort, but the clandestine nature of subversion dictates that the underground will do the bulk of the activity. Subversion is a form of effects-based targeting on human terrain.
Last I checked "willfully" destroying human resources was murder, and to "undermine the military, economic, psychological, or political strength or morale" in furtherance of political or social objectives... is terrorism.
So its ok for the US to go around murdering, funding violent "indigenous or surrogate personnel" and committing acts of terrorism, but when iran does it.. they're evil... lol... got it.
American people are fine, it's the oligarch so called leaders of the 2 party DC mafia I despise.. and when the shtf I hope to watch them being chased through the streets on tv from my tropical island condo.
