I guess I don't. :\ Got me there, Dragon ![]() Now, I'm not trying to bring this into the discussions, but I don't agree that they'll have Nukes. I agree they're extremists, but they aren't looking for the destruction of Israel or the West or anything. Just let them get up to their own little Shenanigans

I'm inclined to use swear words to respond to you, Rommel, but I won't bring myself to your level. |

It's fine if you do. But you are one clueless fellow. |

Well, you're wrong. Religious fanatics are different; they're willing to die for their cause. |

Their cause includes denouncing the terrorist attacks on 9/11? |

Iran isn't a threat, even with nuclear weapons. They would be destroyed if they went to war with Israel or the United States. |

I don't think you're that dumb, Laz. Just because people pretend to be good (eg denounce terrorist attacks), doesn't mean they really are. You do realize that most terrorists captured by the US military said they were good, innocent people...right? |

If I remember correctly, the original question was "why do people hate Iran?" I suspect that there are a number of resons, but the most salient would be the level of rhetoric the Iranian leadership aims at the West (the U.S. in particular) and Israel. Taking American citizens hostage for no good reason during the Carter administration also tends to tick Americans off. Yes, it was a quarter century ago, but those things tend to stick in our minds. As a practical and more current matter, Iran is responsible for the deaths of numerous Americans in Iraq. They are providing munitions, supprt and technology to the Shiite insurgents that want to kill us. Much of the Iraqi government is controlled by Iranian intelligence as well, which is a bit problematic for us. Many of their current senior ministers, and local politicians in the south of Iraq were installed by organizations that were either directly or indirectly supported by Iranian Intelligence. It is very hard for westerners to even begin to comprehend the world view of Islamic nations and cultures. Unlike our almost instinctive seperataion of church and state, the Islamic world can't conceive of a culture where politics and economics aren't guided, even subordinated, by religion. Sharia, particularly as guided by the 9th Shura of the Koran, requires all Moslems to sujugate or kill non-Moslems. Many western Moslems don't like this, but the fact remains that it is an integral, basic part of the doctrine of Islam. It isn't hard to hate someone whose basic world view is that you are less than human and deserving of death or enslavement. |

Well, I don't know him that well (and neither do you), so I wouldn't go around assuming he's smarter than me or vice versa. |
