Not Obama - corporations.
Like, do you know how much of German industry during WWII was owned by American corporations?
A lot...
And guess what, all damages from Allied bombs were paid by American taxpayers.
This is a very old game and it never stops.
Governments have only one job - to fail! Isn't that more than obvious?

Ofcourse they are, but how much "Western" progaganda do you think exists in Iran's mainstream media? Probably not a whole lot.
I'd rather listen to people to live in that area and who know the issues and the details than some news media here in the west only interested in making whoever pays them look good.
People in Iran are just like you or me, people wanting to be free and left to make their own decisions. Nobody wants a dictator or a tyrant, at least not those who know they are pampered slaves to the system.
Which, much like the US, Iran has more and more people waking up to that fact.

I have never stated that I agreed with any Political Leader of any country. As far as I am concerned Obama isn't any better than a tyrant. Sure he hasn't been as bad as some of them from recent memory, but he hasn't fixed the problem, which he always could have.
So don't interpret my feelings of contempt towards the Iranian leaders as worship of Western ones.

Obama called it a sign that Iran has "been outside of accepted norms of international behavior for far too long" and said the United States will work with international partners and will take steps to ensure that Iran "pays a price."
Funny, one could take his quote and apply it directly to the USA.
Pot, meet kettle.
Good one !
it's an old trick....
always accuse somebody else of being guily of your own doings.
keeps the heat down.
This one is pretty obvious !!
A lot more people lately are on to the gag
23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.

Well that's convenient.
I'm not sure what I believe in this these days regarding Iran and alleged terror plots.
More from the article:

This is a statement to be very worrieed about IMO.
Thoughts?
