If Israel has the right to defend it self why should not Iran have the same right. Wheres the problem?
Israel has never seized an American embassy and held the diplomats hostage. Has Iran?

All the more reason why I don't have an issue with Iran and their nuclear goals...

Are you willing to at least admit that Israel attacked it?

Of course; the question is whether or not they knew it was an American ship. They have always claimed that they thought it was Egyptian.

When did Iran plan to blow up American libraries and movie theaters like Israel?

Seeing how they had been buzzing the ship for three days prior to the attack there is no way they could have not noticed the large American flag that was flying over the ship.edit on 17-9-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)edit on 17-9-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

I have a friend who was nearly killed when the bookstore she managed was blown up by Iranian agents for selling "The Satanic Verses." You are treading on very dangerous ground.

There is no justification for violating diplomatic protocol. Also, Israel does not stage rallies where everyone chants "Death to America!" Can you begin to see why the United States would rather Iran not have nuclear weapons.
