The only person who understood my question was smoker06, I said if any iranian individuals actually attempted a terrorist activity not if the government of iran supports terrorism, thats not the question. As for smoker06 please get your facts straight, the two terrorist who hijacked the plane were thought to be iranians at first but then identified as being turkish and syrian,"Turkish Interior Minister Osman Gunes said one of the hijackers was Turkish while the other had a Syrian passport but may have been Palestinian, Reuters reported." I also have CNN news as a reference to my answer.

All Hamas and all Lebanese terrorism, half the terrorism in Iraq comes from, and takes place under the direct orders of the Iran Mullahs. These must be hunted down, and eradicated.

"In the meantime, they refuse to accept Western culture of technology and instead reside in harsh, unproductive conditions, which is why Iran's economy is so bad, and also why they'd lose a war with just about any developed country in the world."

Really? This is Iran we're talking about, right? You do realize that Iran is not interchangeable with any other country in the Middle East. People often forget that Iran = Persia. Most of the country is fertile, they have modern technology like high speed internet, mobile phones, etc, just as we do. They're not camel-riders, people. While the mullahs and the religious police still enforce strict policies regarding public behavior, there is a growing segment of the population who are 1.) too young to remember the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and 2.) pissed about the restrictions that their government places on them, for no reason as far as they can see. We have a tremendous ally in the youth of Iran, who mostly want to live just like Americans do: hanging out with friends, going clubbing, listening to music, and generally having a good time.

But remember: revolution comes from within. We can't make them change, and forceful intervention will only legitimize Iran's government in the eyes of its people, even the most liberal among them. Change is something that has to happen organically. Let's stay the hell out of this one, for a change.

Early in the year of 2007 (damn, it's gone by too fast!) the Iranians took a team of British soldiers hostage for "trespassing in their waters," but after they showed NATO where they found them, the US came forward and proved that the point in question was actually several miles inside NATO territory. Iran came back, changed the facts around, and moved the "point of capture" several miles east, which everybody knew/knows was a lie.

93% of all IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan are Iranian-made.

74% of the insurgents, gunmen and suicide bombers in the combat zone are Iranian. Most of the remaining 26% are Syrian or Palestinian.

The entire Iranian government is operating in direct involvement with Hamas, Hesbollah, and al-Queda, and their president is more of a public speaker being used by other members, just like a puppet.

In spite of both the UN and NATO demanding that Iran shut down its nuclear programs, it continues to develop them at the devil's pace.

Iran's elementary-equivalent schools teach little 8, 9 and 10-year olds that Americans are descended from the devil, and that Allah will reward them for killing them. In the meantime, they refuse to accept Western culture of technology and instead reside in harsh, unproductive conditions, which is why Iran's economy is so bad, and also why they'd lose a war with just about any developed country in the world.

But once again, as I've been saying, not all Muslims are bad- it's their fascist leaders that use their religion's demand for strong government as an excuse to become a ruthless tyrant.

Iranian Terrorists Surrender After Hijacking Jet
Demanded To Be Taken To Iran

ANTALYA, Turkey (CBS/AP) ― Two Iranian members of al Qaeda who hijacked a plane taking off from Cyprus surrendered today in Turkey.

The Arabic-speaking hijackers said they had bombs and demanded the Atlasjet plane be diverted to Iran. The pilot said there wasn't enough fuel, and landed at an airport in the southeastern Turkish city of Antalya instead.

An anti-terror team surrounded the plane after it landed. Most of the 136 passengers managed to escape through a rear exit, as the hijackers released women and children through the front.

A Turkish official says the hijacking was intended as a protest against the U.S.

Because money has been traced going from Iran to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran's president is on record as saying that Israel should be wiped off the map, and Iran's president was one of the terrorists that invaded the US Embassy in Iran and held Americans hostage for 444 days in 1979-81.

And that's only some of it...

oh.. I don't know.. maybe because it funds and orders attacks by proxy? Including the 2nd worst terrorist attack in US history..

And of course there's that tiny little thing about the Iranian government openly stating it's goals of genocide.

Hezbollah is sponsered by Iran. Our soldiers in Iraq are killed by expolives linked to Iran.

They are a real threat. Not to mention the whole "Death to America buissness, and the American Embassy event during Carters years.


You just got told.

Try the Iranian hostage crisis in the American Embassy.

That one immediately comes to mind.
