Your government were serious movers and shakers in the whole Iraq thing. I know. I worked in your country's embassy for your government at that time, in defense diplomacy. Your government all knew exactly what was going on. They got stuff wrong - gravely wrong. At least you should have if you read anything more informative than the Daily Mail. Come on. If you know anything about the machinations of government, you know that what they report in the msm is propaganda. The truth is spread thinly in the boring stuff that doesn't interest the common man.
To be honest, they don't even tell each other the truth in government. They are all self-serving, manipulative, greedy, self-righteous b*st*rds.

Israel has committed acts of genocide. UN even acknowledged the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres as genocide. Israelis were not charged with crimes against humanity because they are a US-client state and as such, protected within the UN.

Israel wasn't charged because the Phalangists committed the acts.
Khamenei calls on Egypt, Tunisia and Libya to help him create an "International Islamic Power".

Hmm. Let's have some American democratically elected president's quotes, eh? No, let's not. This isn't a comic strip, is it?
Do you speak Farsi? Do you know what he said an in what context? We all say things all the time that, taken out of context or heard with each individuals' personal bias.
Now, let me just say that I've got no soft spot for any government anywhere in the world. I haven't seen a single one that runs true to its people's wishes - except maybe the Swiss, but I have nothing good to say there either. So everyone sits in an equal light in my eyes. What is true is that all leaders say things to their people to serve their own agendas. You can't just go around deposing governments because they say things you don't like. How long ago would the US have been tossed to the ground and bloodied had that been the case? Why do you think they need such a huge arsenal as they have? Bullies need to protect themselves. That's why things are they way they are. People don't respect each other. One is always right and everyone else is wrong. Who doesn't think that way? But if every person in every nation knew exactly how their government works and why they do what they do and what they do that you have not the slightest inkling of, I can tell you definitively that we would all topple our own governments and look at each other through different eyes.
We are all being played in this game. We are aligning for reasons we have not the tiniest clue about. We are all hating for no good reason at all. Ignorance is not a good reason, it is only a reason.
Think, learn, read, understand, realize, discover, comprehend, define, and at the end of that process you will see that we are all wanting the same thing at the end of the day. It is our leaders who keep us divided.

The Texas congressman says fears about Iran's nuclear program have been "blown out of proportion." He says tough penalties are a mistake because, as he says was the case in Iraq, they only hurt the local population and still paved a path to war.
More than 25% if Israelis are Arab Muslims.
Those folks don't seem to be under any threat; in fact, they enjoy the same rights as every Jewish Israeli citizen.
Your statement that Jews hate Arabs just because they are Muslim is false. Actually, I think you have it mixed up by 180 degrees.
Israel wants their oil? Why?
If you're going to debate the subject, the least you could do is not clutter it up with BS and outright lies.

He has some power for 4 years and thats its. Poof. The same reason secrets are kept from the Presidents. Because the country runs on forever...and the Presidents are only for terms of years and dont need to know the top secret-secret stuff that keeps our country moving.
If the world is looking for OBAMA to take action....look out...we're in trouble. He'll get out of office, light a cigar and watch the mushroom clouds saying "OOPs! Shouldnt have done that!"edit on 06-10-2010 by mysterioustranger because: (no reason given)

It's not for Obama to act. It's not for the world to act. The only threats being made are for ambiguous and transparently false reasons by those who are claiming the moral high ground. Iran has made no violent overtures. Israel, the US, and the UK have done, however. Is Iran at war with anyone? Is Israel's army mobilized? Is the US's? The UK's? Hmm... See what's happening - again!?
