News is just breaking in. How could they just arrest him? FBI arresting an innocent man. There is no reason to have arrested him.
I believe he was attending the Hollywoodism and Zionism conference:

How about some freaking common sense. We have numerous sanctions in place on Iran, over nuclear proliferation. These may include travel restrictions. Quite possibly this man may have broken the law in even attempting to travel to Iran and violate the sanctions that have been in place since Bush was president.
[ETA] No travel restrictions that I can find,edit on 2/4/2013 by BubbaJoe because: Did some research

No, but we should keep an eye on them unless they are Americans whose people happen to hail from Iran. There is a difference.
Maybe you should keep an eye on your own government before you go pointing fingers at other countries..
Iran has harbored terrorists. They should not be surprised the US keeps the pressure on their dumb selfs (talking about Iranian leaders, not the oppressed people).
Like the USA, Al-Qaeda (if they are real of course) didn't produce their weapons themselves.edit on 4-2-2013 by DarknStormy because: (no reason given)
1.No this is clear. My country is morally light years ahead of Iran.
2. What does where weapons are produced have to do with anything? Those terrorists you refer to are real. Yes the US has been forced to fight wars through proxies. It's a cold world get you a hoodie.
Our government does such a good job stopping these terrorists that gullible people have become convinced they do not even exist!
People complain too much.
What do you guys think, could President Obama be the biological son of Malcolm X?

Iran is not evil, their theocratic regime are, and especially their covert groups like Quds Force, their affiliates and covert involvement in major acts of global Islamic terrorism since the early 90s... and especially their plans for the future world as they see it.
“Our religion prohibits us from having nuclear arms and our religious leader has prohibited it from the point of view of religious law. It's a closed road,”
“The fighting in Palestine is a war between the (whole) Islamic nation and the world of arrogance, ... Today, Palestinians are representing the Islamic nation against arrogance.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates its previously and repeatedly declared position that in accordance with our religious principles, pursuit of nuclear weapons is prohibited,”
“A country, which possesses the biggest nuclear arsenal, embarks on proliferation of nuclear weapons in defiance of the safeguards (of NPT) and threatens to use them against others, is not competent to comment on peaceful use of nuclear know-how by other states,”

How is Iran evil?
They aren't evil. What does the "war on terror" have to do with Iran? It isn't very complicated at all.

Can someone clarify something for me please?
Is the United States at war with Iran?
Has the US officially declared war on Iran, or has Iran officially declared war on the US?
If not, i don't see how anyone travelling to Iran can possibly be any business of the FBI or any other agency.
Why are they evil? Who said they were evil?

I don't know what I'm missing but the way Ahmadinejad speaks I can only see good in his opinions.. Everytime he seems to speak, he touches upon things that actually need to be changed including the world view on foreign policy. Are these the quotes of an evil dictator or a some may say, an evil country?

And heres my favourite one.
“A country, which possesses the biggest nuclear arsenal, embarks on proliferation of nuclear weapons in defiance of the safeguards (of NPT) and threatens to use them against others, is not competent to comment on peaceful use of nuclear know-how by other states,”
We go over there and get shot at while trying to install running water and electricity and schools. How dare we bring these things to these countries
We are the bad guys, not the ones strapping bombs to little girls.
This is a fight between a good people and a evil people.

You go over there bombing for freedom. You bomb them back into the stone age. Rebuild the infrastructure and charge them for it.
No you are blowing them up from the skies with drones these days...
This is a fight between a good people and a evil people.
No its the same as its ever been. Rich people sending poor people to die so they can make more money.
Who? We target terrorists. Civilian casualties MUST be avoided or we end up with more f*cking terrorists. It is not easy.

Some of these posters are apparently not aware of the Rules of Engagement applied by a Leftist admin which puts our guys at risk while pretending to minimize danger to civilians.
