How about some consistancy in your labels?

If Iran is a state sponsor of terror for giving support to Hezbollah, then the United States is just as guilty for giving support to Alpha 66 during the 1960s. Yes, Cuba was our enemy, just like Israel is Iran's enemy. And yes, whether we like it or not, that is what enemies do to eachother. But trying to justify when we do it and demonize it when they do it is simply the pot calling the kettle black.

Sometimes you just need to take a step back and see the world for what it really is, instead of getting caught up in the whole propoganda of "good guys vs. bad guys". There are no good guys and bad guys, just different sides to the economic and resource war that the world has gotten itself into the last hundred years.



I am trying to say that there is no excuse for killing innocent civilians. I don't care who is hiding where. When you attack a civilian target, that is called terrorism.
Eric..I hear ya..and for the most part good guys vs bad guys thing is a little over blown...But I don't think you can convince me (or others) that those who kill thousands of innocent people and actually intend to kill innocent people (9/11) that they (terrorists) aren't inherently evil...They ARE evil... and thats what makes them the bad guys.. When the US kills innocent people its on accident, or because of bad intel, or they were caught in the line of fire while we were trying to kill "bad guys"...Its not the same thing...Why? because we didn't intend to kill innocents..Is it bad? Of course its bad..its terrible..But that is an unfortunate product of war...Innocents die..Thats been happening since the begnining of civilization...No one's saying its not bad...Thats not what we're saying..We're saying it happens...
