As the Iranians have proven via what they've published so far of the papers they collected in what the US government euphemistically called an embassy, it was in fact just what the Iranians said it was, a CIA satrapy; those folks could have been put on trial for espionage. Instead, the Iranians milked them for what they were worth, and then released them in relatively good condition.
If you want to tally up the things the US government has done to Iran and juxtapose it with what they've done to the US government, go ahead. I can assure you that they could do a lot more to the the US government before the scales evened out. That they've shown no evidence of doing that shows who's holding the moral high ground here, and it's not the US government.
Someone else mentioned that "you'd believe the Iranian president before you'd believe Bush", and that may be true for certain things. But learn this, governments don't have morals or a consciences, they exist so that the men in them can lie and steal from others; and for little else. The sooner everyone here learns that, the sooner their lives will be enlightened and their worries eased.
What we've been seeing and hearing from the US government re: Iran being a threat to America is such a colossally big lie that I think it'd make Joseph Goebbels green with envy.
Oh, and I see Pangloss has posted again.
