Many people in Iran don't like its leaders.
Just a couple of years ago, Iran started arresting women that wore lipstick.

Iran was fighting the Taliban on thier eastern border while we were still sending money to the Taliban. Now they are fighting a CIA sponsored insurgency among the Sunni minority Baluchis on thier eastern border. This is another shortsighted policy, when the majority Shiites turn on Sunni Pakistan.
Musharef has already lost control of Kashmir to Al Quieda, and Waziristan to the Talliban. If they pull back from Baluchistan they will control only the Indus Valley.

Sounds like it. Although a war on terror is still a silly concept. Iran did help us overthrow the taliban and is helping to rebuild Afghanistan. Interesting question,is Israel fighting a war for terror? They are trying to get the US to remove MEK from the terrorist list. They were involved in the hostage thing of 79

No, that had nothing to do with Iraq.. that was a kurdish terrorist attack on the Iran/Turkey border...
it was carried out by a Kurdish group, most likely, that did it was called Kurdish PEJAK.. its an anti-Iranian Government group that has had many clashes with the Iranian Military before...
Iran is supplying terrorists, certainly not fighting against them.

In the past 75 years, only five primary terrorists have emerged on the global front:
Joseph Stalin slaughtered 10,000,000 of his countrymen and died peacefully in his sleep;
Adolph Hitler gassed 6,000,000 Jews (and other 'undesirables'), then killed himself before facing justice in an international tribunal;
Idi Amin killed 2,000,000 people in Uganda and retired in relative luxurious exile;
Saddam Hussein killed more than a million Iraqis and was sentenced to death by hanging;
George W. Bush has killed 675,000 Iraqi citizens and 30,000 American soldiers, and has yet to be held accountable for any of these murderous actions.
By late spring of 2007, Bush will attack IRAN after finding a plausible reason which his dittoheads will buy into (weapons of mass destruction won't work again). Bush will invade Iran for the same reason he unconstitutionally and illegally invaded Iraq: all that cheap, easily-accessible OIL swimming underneath the Middle East's sands. -RKO-

Iran is of course fighting in the war on terror, but on whose side? They've been involved in the rocket attacks against Isreal, and they've killed our troops in Iraq. You can't exactly call their actions terrorism, but they've taken the side of terrorists in both instances.

Yes. The terrorists are across the border in the form of US troops, for them, that is.

Iran is & has been a terrorist nation for decades. Did you forget the embassy fiasco that Carter allowed. I didn't.
