"Us" and "them".
First it was about combatting communism next it's about planes flying into population centers.
We gave them training and stinger missiles for use against Hind-D helicopters. If someone tells you that wasn't in US's best interests at the time, they're fools. I don't see 'em using M16s against us.
This is a tired and anachronistic argument.

A US installed puppet dictatorship is in control of the oil. Without creating a constitutional democracy with property rights, the people will rise up against this unacceptable form of government. Even Hillary believes that the only reason Iraq has failed is because the government wont sign the Oil law allowing the US to control the oil.. so the US must leave Iraq for it has not Iraq in mind when acting... dems and repubs are crooks...

The difference is we allow the most evil people in the world to do their deeds if they are our evil people. And others who we don't like or speak out against our evils or hypocrisy better watch out...cause we might label any of them anywhere as enemy combatants, blind fold them, put them on a C130 headed for Guantanamo.
Lets get real. If the USA can invade Iraq based on faulty intel and occupy it perpetually then Iran could send weapons to Iraq based on faulty intel that the USA really has designs on Iran. Anyone can make mistakes....right??? OOPS their bad !!!!!

There's no difference really.
But then again, from the invaders point of view, the reaction is the same too. Both the Soviet Union and now the US oppose providing weapons that will be used to fight the invaders.

Why do we think Iran sent missiles?
Because our government told us so.
What did the government do to trick us into going to war?
Lied to us.
Why should we even believe a damned thing the government says, especially when it's got a vested interest in war and conflict?
Who says they have a vested interest?
The government does, thats who.
Fact:
According to a congressional study done in 2005 our government and arms manufacturers export 35% of the worlds arms.
Independent studies put that as high as 60%
Moral of the above:
Until significant changes are done in the way we avoid/get into conflicts, we should not believe a damned thing the government tells us.
Peace

The United States did not assist your ideological dreamboat.
In fact, the Afghans disliked and mistrusted the Arabs. Still do.

There is no difference except for the supplier and the end result so far. Iran has yet to be attacked by Iraq. I have a theory that will soon change.

The difference is we approve our own actions -- including giving arms to insurgent groups in Iraq in direct contradiction to the orders of the local Iraqi govt.
We don't approve Iran's actions --- even though they are doing the same exact thing that Italy and Saudi Arabia are doing.

Who the weapons are killing.
You enjoy the idea that people are killing Americans?
Do you think we should have allowed Soviet Union to take over Afghanistan?
no wonder the left is accused of having no moral radar.
