Iran's Parliament Signs Resolution to Label CIA, Army as 'Terrorist Organizations'

[Elrohir]

Iran can pass whatever resolutions they want. It just makes things more difficult, though, and at this point the last thing they should want is higher tensions with the West.

So a meaningless body signs a meaningless resolution? I guess it's a step up from what they're used to doing; funding terrorist groups and stoning homosexuals.

Let's be fair now Amadeus - they don't stone homosexuals!

They hang them.

 

[CartesianFart]

Who cares about the homos!

Kinda odd that the fad now, of the media, liken to demonize Iran on their treatment of the homos after Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN. I wonder if maybe of what Ahmadinejad have said, really reached some kind of deep stabbing criticism on America's Culture to the degree where the media channels (such as CNN and other unthinking crap channels) only resort by appealing to the sympathy of ill-treatment of homos as a valid argument against Iran, and having to be inferior to United States?

You don't think that the blatant abuse of human rights is a valid avenue of criticism against a foreign government?

Hypocrisy! Both nations are blemished of Human Rights violations. Silly argument from either side if you ask me.

Sorry to jump off topic here, but does that mean you don't support Russia's development of the Iranian nuclear program?

Well, there is no clear evidence that Iran will use its nuclear weapon to "wipe Israel out", and if you look at the map, you'd realise that the prospect of such an action is very remote, Iran is virtually surrounded from the north, west, east and from the sea, by US armies, fleets and air bases. Israel is one of the most advanced and capable military powers on Earth; they could easily cripple Iran. US has invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, both which border Iran and Bush is openly calling Iranians evil and Cheney is making outright or thinly vailed threats against Iran, while even the moderate democrats are refusing to take the option of first nuclear strike off the table.

So, yeah, Iranians are probably going to use that nuke for self-defense.

How?

Well, I don't where to begin. Maybe the lost decade in Latin America, support for all sorts of dictators, Suharto, El-Salvador, and the massacres in Nicaragua... all in all, Reagan administration was probably one of the bloodiest.

I think we're operating under different definitions of terrorism.

No, we're probably not. What happened in Nicaragua was terrorism. It was the use of violence and threat of the use of violence for political purposes. Many things are. What happened in Afghanistan after 9/11 was terrorism. Bush first threatened to bomb the country, unless they hand over OBL (without any evidence, of course, but its not like the powerful need to present any) and later he came out, declaring that the Afghans need to change their leadership, or be bombed, which is even more massive case of terrorism. You can find terrorism involved in any war, the term is simply so broad.

With what kind of delivery system? An inter-continental ballistic camel?

You mean the civil war? Newspeak doubleplusgood, Winston.

Ah, American Democracy has caught on in Iran: the legislative body is wasting its time and the taxpayers' money on non-binding resolutions!

hahaha, and we have a winner!

 

[CaptainF]

This should be a big boost to army recruitment.

Hell, it almost works on me.

 

[Fugitive Sisyphus]

Non-binding resolutions seem to be in fashion these days. First the United States congress, then the United Nations, and now even Iran.

In the USA?? UMM do you think people are the stupid and have bling nationalism?? (NVm don't answer that question!)

We humanely detain terrorists without trial. (Which is the supposed human rights abuse, I guess) They hang people for being gay, including minors. Their military supplies terrorist organizations in Iraq responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers and Iraqi soldiers and civilians. It isn't even comparable.

Unless they (CIA) need some information, in which case they can always sub-contract out thier human rights abuses to other countries that don't have as much of a repuation to ruin...

So not only is the US responsible for the prisoners it holds, but it is responsible for the prisoners it used to hold as well? Where did we sign this perpetual responsibility agreement, again?

Well, if an an american organization catches a (supposed) terrorist, sends them to Syria or central asia and tells that government" find out what you can from them', I think I would call them responsible...

They should be wiped off the map imdeatly. The Iranian peope know that they as a whole are responable for 9/11.

 

[Tee Kay]

^ Please tell me that's sarcasm.

Wow 20%er's did your furor tell you that the iran people did 9/11? (That doesn't surprise me. BUt what does surprise me is that people actually think hes not lying and he does talk to god!)

The only people that as a whole should be "wiped off the maps" Are the greedy, lazy people that did nothing to stop 9/11 even after lots of warning but no actions!

(1 question for those republicans: If we are attacked before the presidential election how is it going to help the republicans? The borders as a whole are wide open, the port security are still a joke, and we are to depend on food from china.)

 

[amadeus]

did your furor

If you are going to say something so asinine as to suggest that George Bush is a Nazi, please, at the very least, learn to spell it correctly.

Nope, democrats did.
