Inside Story - US gives military aid - 31 Jul 07

[tomtos2000]

I hope US gave us some rifles and equipments from dead soldier.. Here in philippines we neutralize those islamic rebels, communist,and terrorist in our homeland....

[GhostofFire]

I agree we need to get out of Iraq, and let things re-order themselves. I feel like everyone in the world(including pretty much EVERY US citizen)wants us out, except Bush himself. Literally.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the suggestion from US elites that the "iranian threat" assumes that no state in the world can opposse the acts of a global tyrant trying to hold onto archaic notions of imperialism and aristocracy. the US has increased terrorism and sacrificed the safety of the entire world to advance the narrow goals of economic and political elites. the hatred and malice that develops from the murderous actions of the US elites are in the interests of no one.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the US has decided to try and rule the world by force since the end of the cold war, and they have already squandered their chance to advance the world and have become a symbol of hatred.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

realpolitik is a bankrupt and arrogant political theory which resulted in millions of deaths in WWI so that pompous western elites could compete in a game for national prestige. with a sole aggressive superpower attempting to rule the world by force, there is no balance of power that could cause peace.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

after this the US armed and supported iraqs murderous aggression against iran. they are now funding groups which regularly attack inside iran and have illegally brutalized the people of iraq. how can these savage US elites claim that iran is the aggressor. there is no realpolitik balance, this is simply dangerous aggression that needs to be ended before the entire region turns into a wasteland, with US military bases around the oil (like iraq).

[jklasdfjdfksl]

iraq was weak and the most aggressive state in the region continues to be the US invaders and their ally israel which is continually attempting to expand. since the 1979 revolution, the US has illegally been trying to subvert and overthrown the popular government of the iranian people; because their corrupt puppet shah's US/israeli trained terrorist security forces could not hold back the popular will. these efforts were uncovered in the US embassy(aka. "den of spies").

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the idea that there is a new balance needed to counter an aggressive iran is completely imaginary. iraq left no power vaccum, its military was defenseless and it could not even provide sanitation for its people because of the continued bombings and murderous sanctions which punished iraqis for the crimes of its leader.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the instability was created by the US, which cares nothing for the people of the region besides their resources. a situation where such a hated presence has invaded and supported various factions has driven conflict and created divisions.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

rather than letting the people of the region decide for themselves, they find people who will advance their interests, at whatever cost. this also creates an artificial need for the US to remain. the power vaccum was created intentionally by the US, which intends to capitalize on the divisions it has created.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

they have driven out many of the technically trained iraqis, then act as if the iraqis are children who need their help in running a country. the US talks about wanting stability when it has orchestrated chaos in order to exploit a weakened region. once the external presence of the US leaves, things will begin to repair themselves. if the US insits of advancing its attempts to rule over the world, the death and destruction will only continue.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

there was no power vaccum left by iraq, it was created by the US; with the intention of capitalizing over the chaos it has created.

[IranianMuMatician]

I wonder if Americans they have any responsiblities again their hostile regim... aren't you guys ashamed of yourself being an American?

[IranianMuMatician]

Didn't we have enough war in the region... fucking american gov... get your weapons ships out of Persian Gulf... weren't you helping saddam to win against iran... brought taliban up to fight against Russia...

then you call Iran a Devil... we got enough problem in our region...

really... they think we all are stupid... we give you guys a big lesson... Down w/ US gov!!

[gumacyare]

The weopons they are pouring in to middle east today will come to haunt them sooner or later,

[1r0nm4n911]

When it comes to America todays allies and tommorows enemies, flooding the gulf with weapons is a typically dumb idea. When their is need to invade rouge states in the middle east again (which there will be) then it will be US troops againest rouge state insurgents and US weapons againest US weapons.

[kaiban42]

maybe the US should arm both sides of this fight, that way the military industrial complex can profit even more....

[IranianMuMatician]

You can say that again... they sell the weapons and buy oil with their printed dollars... what a deal...

[rythmiccity]

Peace is definitely NOT why America is GIFTING weapons to those countries. It seems the US wants the world to see things from their perspective: kill, kill, kill!

There is no justification for this just like there isn't one for invading countries.

[4getto]

Peace through strength, if you know your enemies have a ton of weapons and they are high tech, then you will have a second thought about invading them. Look that is why the Soviets and NATO never came to blows, its called RealPolitik. The moderate Arab nations have the same enemies as the Americans it radical Islamists.

[evilthought]

Oh sure.. the Saudis are the most 'moderates' of all in the region -- compared to religious 'Islamists' like say in Syria. Gosh, you are more stupid than a stack of stones.

[4getto]

Bin Laden has been kicked out of his "Homeland" by the House of Saud, and the government is under threat from the Terrorists just like the US they are the "near enemy" and the Americans are the "far enemy".

[evilthought]

These high tech weapons have nothing to do with bin Laden ... lol. Are you kidding me? These are weapons used to fight other state -- not a small groups of nuts in Afghanistan.

[4getto]

what i am saying is that we are in the same boat with Terrorism as well as Iran. the high tech weapons are for the Sunni nations to protect themsleves against an agressive Iran. like i said before RealPolitik. Plus Al qaeda is not only in Afghanistan, but in all Islamic nations, but they might not be as active. Terrorism is not limited by State lines.

[mrbetterthanyou2]

terrorism is a u.s. funded opperation, period, and it would no no less than a fact to tell you that bin laden is an active cooperater with the u.s. government

[mrbetterthanyou2]

as for this arms plan it is a main attempt to increase fuding to israel, as you heard by nearly 25%, egypt and saudi arabi are quite subjected by their own nature to bow to the u.s. and listen with open ears, they are no more than sacpegoats( it was made clear they have enough weapons allready so why give more), and if iran was thinking correctly it will not thnik expansively, militarily, or neuclearly
