What's the last time Iran actually invaded another country?
When did the Iranians overthrow a chief executive in the US?
What Iranian has ever matched the arrogance of Paul Wolfowitz when, in response to a question asking why the US went after Iraq instead of North Korea answered that, economically speaking, we had no options in Iraq: "The country floats on a sea of oil."
Since 2003 the US has maimed, murdered, displaced, and incarcerated millions of innocent Iraqi civilians. Even Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza doesn't rise to that level of terrorism, and nothing Iran has done comes close to the level of state-sponsored terror exhibited by either Israel or the US.
Telling the Truth about Imperialism, Noam Chomsky interviewed by David Barsamian
All those who appear to hate Americn and Israel always drag up Chomsky, who should just stick to Linguisitic which is the field he is an expert in, not politics. I don't think it has gotten through Georgie's head yet that he would be safer in Israel than he would be in any Muslim country. By the way, Georgie, the Assyrians in Los Angeles are collecting money for their fellow Syrian Christians in need because of what is happening in Syria. I hope you have given them your contribution.

You've heard the expression there's no silver medal in Revolutions?
"ZAHLE, Lebanon — For most of the refugees streaming across the border into Lebanon, Syrian President Bashar Assad is to blame for the violence back home and the rebel effort to oust him is laudable.
For the traumatized Christians among them, it's often the opposite.
"The rebellion, led by Syria's Sunni Muslim majority, has stirred profound concern among Christians, who make up about 10% of Syria's population. Some say they detect an increasingly radicalized Islamist strain among the rebels that makes them fear for their future.
"Although many young Christians sympathize with the rebellion,
most Christians are believed to still support the embattled government, viewing it as a guarantor of minority rights, even as it represses free speech and crushes any form of political opposition."
No I haven't donated, and I probably won't.
My $639 SSA and $200 worth of food stamps every month don't stretch the way they used to.
Can I blame Assad and his Christian slaves for that?
