This is a clear message to Melez Zenawi of Ethiopia's EPRDF. Killing, Raping destroying property of the Ogadeni Civilians will landing you to ICC. The Ethiopian leader Melez Zenawi and head of the Army must be brought to International Criminal Court for their crime against humanity in the Ogaden and State of Somalia.

Also: who in the hell gives a fuzzy piece of pocket lint about Martyrs? The martyrs mentioned in this news piece are simply murderers.

At 2:37 we hear Ahmadinejad, actually expressing the view that Bush attacked Iraq, but Iran was his objective. This kind of thing happens with pizza delivery all the time, as they get the addresses confused occasionally. But, I would think that if the entire US military wanted to get to Iran, they would have at least stopped and asked directions by now. Conclusion: The American forces arrived at their intended destination, and Ahmadinejad, is still insane.

Illegally occupying? Well, Maliki hasn't asked for us to leave, so that's by the present Iraqi governement's invitation. Karzai also requests US presence. Blackwater? That's a private firm, not under the auspices of the US. Get your facts straight before trying to go toe to toe with someone who has been to Iraq, knows the situation and what's really going on. On Israel, remember the Balfour declaration? 2 states, one Arab, one Israeli. Arabs attacked first, got owned, now they cry about it

To donttrustany1, all of those military bases of the US have been requested by those nations that host them. By that fact, it shows that if Iran is surrounded by nations with those bases, wouldn't it mean that they feel insecure with Iran as a neighbor? Then again if I was in one of those nations, hearing the rhetoric of the Iranian president, who by the way was one of the US embassy hostage takers in Teheran in 1979, I wouldn't feel so secure either. But Iran isn't a terrorist nation is it?

[donttrustany1]

The Iraqi go\vernment does not want to be a pupet state just like the rest of these countrys dont want to be puppet states. They dont really have a chpice when the US comes to town. The hostage sit of 79' was compared to the CIA's coup of Iran in 1953. The British were being kicked out of by Mossadegh so they called in the US who overthrew the Iranian govt via the CIA. This is a well know fact. When has Iran threatened a coup on the US, let alone threatened it?

[donttrustany1]

Why is it that its okay for the US to have thousands of Nuclear weapons? Why do they spend more on their military than all other country's on earth combined? The US is currently Illegally occupying Iraq and Afghanistan. How many country's is Iran illegally occupying? How many civilians in other country's has Iran bee involved in killing over the past 10 years. The numbers cant even begin to compare! Why is it that the US gives more aid money to Israel than to all of Africa?

[blackxavior]

Is all the news about Israel in the middle east?

[destroyerdivine]

I just love Al Jezeera's pro-terrorist and Islamo-Fascist bias. "All options on the table", doesn't constitute a threat, or military options. It means, using all means to come to a diplomatic compromise. When America wants to send signals of examining military options, our government says, "The use of the military option is being explored and discussed." I know we all have heard that one before on several occasions....

[destroyerdivine]

Steal Oil? You're a fool. We don't want Iranian oil. We want Iran to act like a civilized country and stop exporting terror, as it has done since the Shah was overthrown by the Islamist mob, who by the way ran Iran into the ground. Before that, Iran was a productive and respected nation in the world. Now, it's just another third rate power trying to flex what little muscle it has. Iran's president won't be satisfied until we attack him, so that he can claim "victory" in the face of loss.

[juustiin]

My sympathy to the people of Iran.

May they overthrow the tyranny of the mullahs and be free!

[donttrustany1]

The fact is that the USA is by far the leading terrorist state in the world today(and for many years now). 3billion dollars plus to Israel every year. Illegal military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan(1,000,000+ killed in Iraq since the invasion) Vietnam, Nicaragua, CIA Iran coup of 1953, the only atomic bombs dropped on civilians, economic terrorism(ie. The IMF & WTO), 10000+ nuclear weapons, spends more than the rest of the world combined on it's military. Iran is not the problem!

[blackxavior]

Do you know the definition of terrorism? look it up. A military maneuver is not terrorism.

[donttrustany1]

"The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence against people or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies" which is ipso-facto the United States' foreign policy. One example: The US Fed Reserve is withholding 5billion Iraqi dollars until they allow the US to set up perminent military bases. If your statement was correct then Iran would not be invloved in Terrorism either, same thing with the Taliban...if military maneuvers are in fact not terrorism.

[donttrustany1]

Read Frank Kitson "Low Intensity opperations" for info on Americans terrorist foreign policy. Also, try and tell the familys of the million plus INNOCENT people killled in Iraq in the past 6 years that the USA is not a terrorist state. Try and tell the people of Iran whos country is surrounded by American bases that the US is not a terrorist state. Try telling this to the people of south America, Africa, The entire Middle East. Try and tell this to the familys of 3million plus Vietnamese.

[donttrustany1]

Were the Nazi's crimes not terrorism because they were "military maneuver's"? What about when Saddam gased his own people?(With assistance from the USA before, durring and after I might add).

[destroyerdivine]

The USA is NOT a terrorist state by any measure of the word. Iran, has supported Hisbollah, and many of the Shi'ite dominated factions in Iraq. The USA has not supported any terrorist organization in recent memory. All of our operations against other nations have been the result of those nations not following International law. In Iran, the mullahs have serious issues with human rights, as did the Taliban in Afghanistan. So, support oppression if you like, but don't lie and twist the truth.

[donttrustany1]

Your joking right? "The USA has not supported any terrorist organization in recent memory."

What the hell do you think Blackwater is fool?! The USA has been consistently the number one nation who refuses to accept int'l law. Look at Nicaragua in the 80's: The world court ordered the US to pay $18billion in reparations. The USA's response; Increase terrorist operations. This is one example...support for Saddam and Suharto were others.
