Bush is one of the most evil lieing bastards to ever walk on this earth,He lied about saddams alleged W.M.D,s,Sent a bunch of mentally unstable psychopaths to the other side of the World to Torture,Rape & Murder innocent Iraqi Men,Women & Children for oil & then has the cheek to say he done the right thing,Hopefully the sick bastard will die a very slow & painfull death & then burn in Hell forever along with blair,cheney,rumsfeld,rice & all the other evil bastards who wanted the war for profit.

@SydneySwannies08 I wish you were right, but its happening sooner then a few years. If you have relatives in Iran talk them into getting out soon! I say that not in a threatening way by me but from the fact that I know America cannot allow Iran to carry on its madness to the point of nuclear weapons. Iran has some much oil it doesn't need Nuclear reactors. I hope they reverse coarse so Nato doesn't do it for them,,,someday when they have a peaceful government maybe it will be different?

@dwr323232 Well, In a few years we will see what happens ;)

[dwr323232]

@SydneySwannies08 We have no plan to attack other countries, ok, but we dont allow terrorist-states to attack other countries when things can be talked about instead, America will always try to talk first and us military lastly when all other efforts have failed.

Sanctions on Iran are not to be mean, there actually Americas (and other countries) effort to avoid war, not because we are afraid, but so there's no killing. America hardly sounds like what you think of it! You should come visit.

[dwr323232]

@SydneySwannies08 You dont even know America, you only know the propaganda fed to you. America goes to other countries on humanitarian missions helping people all over the world every year. What has Iran done to help others other then to blew others up?

If we wanted to attack anyone, if we wanted to take over the world whats stopping us? Nothing! Let that be your evidence that you dislike the wrong country. But I understand where you are coming from because your parents are from Iran.

[dwr323232]

@SydneySwannies08 Your ignorance was handed to you from your parents, sorry but the truth is the truth.

Israel did nothing to you, nothing to Iran and have only done what they have done because of the original low-life Yasser Arafat.

This people are the ones who initiated all of the problems in the start and each time Israel wants to have peace more rockets are sent from Palestine. Thats how terrorist negotiate! I don't blame Israel for retaliating and neither should you (or your parents!

[SydneySwannies08]

@dwr323232 I don't Hate America. I don't Like them Either.

Iran Hates U.S thats Why we Sponser Terrorism.

I dont live in Iran. I was born in Australia and I am currently living in Australia

Both my parents are Full Iranians.

Iran will eventually prevail and making a Nuclear Weapon and Many other things.

Most of all i hate Israel. We can both agree that what they have done to Palestine is revolting. If it wasnt for the U.S, Israel would be off the Map in a Heartbeat.

[dwr323232]

@SydneySwannies08 Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, that makes them terrorist. They us proxy hamas/palstinians to do their dirty deeds.

If you live in Iran then you have no where near the amount of information I have, your president censors your internet and everything else.

America is not afraid of Iran, America like all countries are afraid of being attacked by a nuc, that makes us normal people wouldn't you say?

But because of Irans past we will never allow them nuc's! You will see.Sorry

[SydneySwannies08]

@dwr323232

Firstly, America is afraid of Iran because they don't want Iran to build a nuclear weapon

and the Iranian scientists are very young and smart (thats why U.S and Israel killed them). Secondly, its just a little debate and dont call iranian people terrorists.

i agree that our regime is questionable but thats who we chose.

Thirdly, at the moment America is a very powerful country.

but lets get it straight, every country exept U.K and Israel Hates U.S

in a few years U.S will crumble

[dwr323232]

To any and all Americans (or others) living in the US who side with Iran, get the hell out and go live in Iran. Traders!
