[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;35518076]omg the us shot down civilians (with people saying it was an accident) they are obviously lying and purposely did that yeah! This obviously sparked Iranian aggression! Iran being mean was caused by US imperialism! Haha, I love how stupid Iran apologist arguments are.[/QUOTE] I'm not trying to make any Iran apologist arguments, that's just fucked up to me.

[QUOTE=Lonestriper;35520384]The US and Israel are certainly not helping, since they have managed to turn it into a dick-waving competition with Iran[/QUOTE] Iran has not helped either by murdering foreign nationals.

Paranoid? Learn the definition. And yes they are rather blood thirsty, hundreds to thousands of dead civilians would agree.

Iran being mean was caused by US imperialism! Haha, I love how stupid Iran apologist arguments are.[/QUOTE] George H. W. Bush declared, "I will never apologize for the United States of America — I don't care what the facts are" in reference to the incident. He then awarded the shooters with [I]medals[/I]. Yeah I don't get why it doesn't seem provocative to you either. [QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;35519833]Than you fail at it by making it sound like our fault the Iranian government are blood thirsty.[/QUOTE] Blood thirsty towards the U.S.? Yeah it is US' fault man. Do you not know any Iranian-U.S. history pre-2008? It began in 1953, when Iran decided to nationalize their oil. The CIA with help of MI6 overthrew a democratically elected government and installed a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat"]brutal and oppressive U.S-puppet dictator[/URL] instead, against the will of the Iranian people. Or when U.S. supported the aggressor (i.e. Iraq) in the Iraq-Iran war and even provided Iraq with some chemical weapons. And the airliner incident above with Bush refusing to swallow his pride and decides to award the shooters. There's also other extreme incidents with the U.S, some specifically with regard to "resolving all outstanding bilateral differences between Tehran and Washington, including the nuclear issue" which was [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/opinion/20070429_iran-memo-expurgated.pdf"]rejected by the U.S.[/URL][quote]In December 2001, the US asked Tehran to keep Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the brutal pro-Al Qaeda warlord, from returning to Afghanistan to lead jihadist resistance there. Iran agreed so long as the Bush administration did not criticize it for harboring terrorists. But, in his January 2002 State of the Union address, President Bush did just that in labeling Iran part of the “axis of evil.” Unsurprisingly, Mr. Hekmatyar managed to leave Iran in short order after the speech. After hearing this speech the Iranians threw him out as quickly as possible because the Islamic Republic could not be seen to be harboring terrorists.[/quote] [quote]Richard Armitage accused the Iranians of further harboring al-quaeda terrorists. Iran identified a group of less than 100 individuals operating in the NE region along the border with Pakistan operating in the drug smuggling operations of that region. They captured all of them and offered the complete list to the UN in 2002 and then offered to turn them over to the US in exchange for the Iraqi MEK terrorist group captured by the US that threatened Iran's governing powers. The US refused this exchange, and so Iran deported the detainees to the custody of their home governments of Saudi Arabia and post-Taliban Afghanistan. This demonstrated to Afghan warlords that they could not play America and Iran off one another and prompted Tehran to deport hundreds of suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives who had fled Afghanistan.[/quote] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/22/opinion/22leverett.html?pagewanted=all[/url] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/22/opinion/22precede.html[/url] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/The_redacted_Iran_oped_revealed_1222.html[/url] [quote]After the May 12,2003 Saudi Arabian bombing by an internal Iranian group, all 3500 "members" of the organization, including many family and extended members not directly involved in the action were seized by the Iranians and offered to the US as proffer for the Iraqi MEK. Further a proposal for negotiations aimed at resolving all outstanding bilateral differences between Tehran and Washington, including the nuclear issue was offered directly to the President by Swiss diplomat. The proposal was described as having been endorsed by all the major power centers in Iran, including the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. [highlight]The US reaction was to not even acknowledge the document and accuse the Swiss diplomat of being "out of line."[/highlight][/quote]
[QUOTE=demoguy08;35509519]This will also be the last voyage of the Enterprise before it gets scrapped iirc.[/QUOTE] aww. Enterprise is my favourite ship of the US navy.
[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;35521331]Paranoid? Learn the definition. And yes they are rather blood thirsty, hundreds to thousands of dead civilians would agree.[/QUOTE] A hundred is really different from several thousand. Unless you got something to back that up, then yes, you're paranoid.
