What did I twist?. You make all these accusations, but fail to answer them and back your claims. Sorry I can't help you here

You continue to spout nonsense about history with smatterings of the truth that you twist into extremely biased views.
You have proven how badly twisted you views are by claiming that everyone should have nuclear weapons and pretending that you have a right to tell other people what their business should or should not be. You know nothing about dignity.
The nations of Islam have been at war for over a thousand years now, essentially since the inception of Islam, and they have been stirring up wars and killing and enslaving vast numbers of people for centuries now. While Saddam Hussain had some involvement with the U.S., when he showed his true colors as a brutal thug, he became the enemy of the U.S..
Most of the armed conflicts that the U.S. has been involved have been in providing military assistance for war torn nations, to prevent the slaughter of innocents. While many associations of U.S. agents and business men are certainly shady characters and the actions of U.S. corporations, and covert U.S. actions are sometimes more than questionable and sometimes inexcusable abuses, overall the will of the people in the U.S. keep these abuses at a minimum, and manage to overall succeed in making the world a better place. This is why the U.S. is a nation loved around the world, even if our image is suffering at this time from the poor leadership of the GW admin..
Meanwhile, Islam continuously and agressively attacks others, murdering innocents by sponsoring acts of terrorism from India and Indonesia to central Asia, China, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and North America. Your blindness to this reality blinds your sense of morality as well.
Your claim that the U.S. has started more wars or killed more people than any other nation in the last fifty years is just made up nonsense. You care nothing for the truth, you just want to bash the U.S..

Iran is an Islamic nation. Posters here on this board claimed that Iran was a peaceful Nation that had not attacked other nations for a thousand years. I proved that this claim about Iran, an Islamic nation, was false. Besides trying to play word games, do you have a point, other than trying to cloud the reality about the history of Islam?

the U.S. has been involved in many wars,
where's your proof.
Iran which has covertly and continuously involved itself in conflicts throughout the globe,
Ah, but it is not as simple as that. Saddam at one time worked for the U.S. government, but the rest is an exaggeration. The history of Saddam's rise to power was far more complicated than that, but to admit the real truth, you would have to admit the failures that exist in the world of Islam, and that is something that seems to be beyond your capabilities.
You start off calling me ignorant and pathetic, and then cry foul when I when I return your personal attacks. If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones. If you had any dignity, you wouldn't have started off with the personal attacks like you did.
the most foolish poster here on these forums
This is how foolish your ideas are. Try turning on your brain
, but anyone with a shred of dignity knows better
You know nothing about dignity
The IRA was one of the biggest terrorists organisation in the world a few years ago. They have disarmed, to the point, that they appear not to even exist anymore. Northern Ireland has being peaceful for the last 2 years now. This really happened. Now come to my point, there is nothing insane about your country giving up NUCs, if its insane for Iran to have them, Its insane for America to have them. Got it goooooooood.
Do you realize that no one can put the Nuclear Genie back in the bottle? Whether or not you recognize this, what you are saying is that since one nation has nuclear weapoons, then all nations should have nuclear weapons, and that is insane.
Then give up your nucs then if you think U.S won't use them. If America thinks they can have nucs, then other nations feel they have the right too, you are going to have to understand that. Whether you agree with it or not.
Here is another reality point that you should consider. As long as Iran is not in possession of Nuclear weapons, there is no chance that the U.S. will ever use weapons on Iran, or Israel either.
Its going back to a childish way of thinking. He has, so i can have, if he has more then I'm beefing up my weapons. If my brother has more candy than me, I'm going to ask Mum for more sweets.......... Stop wafffliing and accept the fact, of how rediculous this is.
Should Iran ever develop a Nuclear weapon, then the possibility that the U.S. or Israel might ever use nuclear weapons against Iran increases vastly. Why does the U.S. have nuclear weapons, because we developed them first, and after using them in a war, we vowed never to use them again, except to protect ourselves against a nuclear threat. In addition, the USSR developed their own Nukes, and we need our nukes to counter the Soviet Nukes.
Of course they have, they wouldn't be threatneing Iran like they had been, If they didn't.
Why does Israel have nuclear weapons. We don't know for sure if they do, but being that jewish scientist developed nuclear weapons in the first place, chance are very good that they do.
Then you should realise that the USA should not be in possession of NUCS either. Can't hold one concept and not the other.
Maybe some day when you realize these important points about the possession of nuclear weapons, you will realize that Iran should not be in possession of nuclear weapons.
stop using religion as another stupid claim for your arguments. It has nothing to do with religion, The WMDs and this war gas nothing to do with it, your biased views, come directly from the media almost, it's that obvious. Ranting about religion, do you even realise you have a personal issue here. Do you know anyone who is Muslim. Why are you bringing religion into it? Every religion has their set beliefs, you have to respect that regardless. American people need to learn this fact. Its disgusting the way bias your views. You don't see Muslims coming to your country and try convert you, because they don't like your Christian religion. I'm sure Buddists don't agree with somethings that are in Hinduism. Doesn't mean one relgion can impose over another, and certainly does not give you the right to impose one relgion over another. I hope you become a little more wiser after this paragraph.
You think you can ignore the history of Islam, and pretend that others will do the same, then you are being foolish.
I recognize the mistakes that the U.S. makes, and I admit them. I see the wacko things our government does,
as I made clear when I stated that the Iranian government is more wacko than the government of the U.S., but apparently you are incapable of admitting that the Iranian government can do wacky things.

He still goes on spewing out his delusions as if anyone but his fellow nut cases believe him.

Wrong, Islam is not simply an Idea, it is a religion which claims to be the only official word of God, that demands that others follow its laws. This has all been debated before, and the proof of Islam's violent history is well known. Your denial of the violent history of Islam is your own choice to be ignorant.
The oil found under the ground of Islamic nations have made those nations rich, and gave them great opportunity to grow and advance, but instead, these Islamic nations chose to entrench themselve in religious extremism, and to use their wealth to spread this religious extremism. Now now that this wealth is about to run out, as they pump what is remaining of the oil under their land out of the ground, their opportunity to embrace the future is being squandered, and that is a shame.

Let's get into the basics, and idea is a single concept, like, "All men are created equal". In and of itself, it says a lot of things because it is a very powerful idea, but it is just a single concept. Religion is is much broader, more like a philosophy built upon numerous distinct ideas that people use to guide themselves through life. Different philosophies and religions can share the same ideas, like, "God created the world", but that is only one idea, one concept. Still, religion is a step beyond a philosophy, it is broader and more life encompassing. Religion requires that someone stick to a specific creed, a definition of morality that ties their behavior to very specific deeds, actions, and outlooks. Religion draws distinct lines between people, born out of powerful convictions that theirs is the only true way, built upon developed lines of logic that tie numerous ideas and philosophies together to establish a way of life that supposedly determines the existance of ones immortal soul. Can you wrap your brain around this?

Yes, you can judge a religion by the actions of its followers, because religions guide the actions of those who follow those religions, those sets of beliefs. The way Muslims treat their women is based upon their religious beliefs.

As far as democracy goes, Hitler was not a product of Democracy, Hitler was a brutal dictator, a military dictator, the result of a system of beliefs exactly the opposite of democracy, just like Stalin, and all other dictators. You couldn't be more wrong with this example if you tried.

Tell you what, why don't you google up "Islam war history" as I have done, and start reading some of the stuff. I have already provided links detailing Islam's violent past, you can go back through the thread and find those if you so choose, and then you can come back and try to justify Islam's long history of violence. I have already done my homework, why don't you do your own research, and pick out your own historical events to debate. Try and bring something to the table so that you don't look so much like a kid out of his league.
