Changing your point because you know that what you said was silly? You said that there never has been anyone worse that the US, that was a stupid thing to say and obviously so.
The US hasn't established a global empire. The USSR, with the Iron Curtian made an empire. You can call the US an empire all you want, but we do not act anywhere near an empire. Look at Rome, that was an Empire. The US--we give money away to everyone and anyone in the form of aid--that is not something an empire does. We do not keep land but give it back after war, from WWI all the way to the present. That is not how an empire asks. When you spout such hyperbole, we know that you are coming from an idealistic position, not a rational one.
Sure, Iran is active via proxy in the region in places such as Syria as they are allies with this country so they have every right to provide support if they feel the need to do so...

You produce some really great threads.

Christianity in Iran has a long history, dating back to the early years of the faith. It is older than the State Religion, Islam itself. It has always been a minority religion, with the majority state religions — Zoroastrianism before the Islamic conquest, Sunni Islam in the Middle Ages and Shia Islam in modern times — though it had a much larger representation in the past than it does today. Christians of Iran have played a significant part in the history of Christian mission. Today, there are at least 600 churches in Iran.[1]
The Dura-Europos church is the earliest identified Christian house church. It is located in Dura-Europos in Syria and dates from 235 AD.

I am sorry but I just can't trust people who fail to see there is a massive human rights problem in countries that find themselves at odds with Islam.
What is it that motivates them, I believe it is their hatred of Jews and Christians, years of propaganda spread by the world wide

LMAO I didn't change #.....
And the US is the PERFECT example of a closet empire..
We give money away as aid - and use it to enslave other nations, by threatening to remove it.
Let's not forget they wouldn't need it if the crime chain that lead to the US dollar becoming the international trading standard had never happened.
And I hope you aren't saying the US hasn't taken and kept land................ I hope that's not what you're saying.
Look down, there's probably a native American grave under you.
And the US doesn't need to do anything outwardly considering most of the worlds politicians are in their back pockets.... Come on man, wake up.edit on 26-9-2012 by My.mind.is.mine because: (no reason given)

LOL, now you change the term to "closet empire." Dude, you keep moving the goalposts everytime your points are refuted.
Really? Japan and Germany and France and so forth must be our 51st, 52nd, and 53rd states because an Empire would not give that back.

I know you've heard Ahmadinejad's speech. He unambiguously stated, the sovereignty of all countries is to be respected, as are the human rights of all people, and yet you defend Iran's right to be actively involved in the internal affairs of another country "if they feel the need to do so..."
If you're going to apply the same standards to everyone else, wouldn't it be the right of the U.S. too, to pursue their own interests "if they feel the need to do so..." ?

Why should anyone care what he states? "the sovereignty of all countries is to be respected" nambla thinks the sovereignty of their sexuality should be respected too... of course he thinks this lol if that's the case they can do whatever the hell they want with no interference, wouldn't that be nice, I bet NK thinks the same way

These debates are becoming ridiculous
Half the Iran sympathizers range from Stormfront freaks to actual Iranians being paid to post or doing it for the cause or whatever and the rest are just mindless victims of the Delphi who want to seem "tolerant" when in reality they could no more live under strict Sharia law than any of us could.
Americans don't like Nazis and we don't like the Islamic version of them either.
Reason to attack Iran?
I don't want to demographically end up in a world where women wear veils, Mullahs make laws, dating doesn't exist. music and movies are ruined, art is suppressed and some fictional after life is used to control my behavior in life.
I don't need any more reason, it's MY LIFE I just don't like their ways.
No more reason is needed
We don't like their ways.... they are in conflict with ours

This makes no sense, whatsoever... Part of them being a sovereign nation is having the right to enforce laws that have been in effect SINCE.... They are ALLOWED to have a law against homosexuality, just like OTHER NATIONS. They are ALLOWED to have nukes, like OTHER NATIONS!!!
I don't flippin get it...

Iran never said anything about forcibly changing your ways... Ahmedinejad DID however say that all people of all life paths should live in PEACE.. He said that like 4 hours ago........ so what the hell are YOU talking about?
PLUS, there are millions of American Muslims, so which "they" do we fall under??
ETA: wait how the hell did I even respond to this blatant trolling!?!? That was NEVER the threat. ISRAEL hasn't even said that Iran plans to do that as propaganda!!!
