| What business does Iran have in Iraq providing weapons to insurgents? If they are so peaceful, why can't they play by the rules? |

Yes, because Iran just keeps to themselves doesn't interfere in other countries politics at all! |
Iran doesn't OCCUPY other countries. Iran itself was the one occupied for decades, and had foreign interference in their own politics. 1979, they shook off this interference, and declared itself enemies to those perceived to be most responsible for foreign interference, Israel and the US. The US because of the espionage of the 1950's, and shah and saddam hussein support. Israel because they feel Israel seeks to keep the Middle East marginalized and keep Israel the top military power in the region. |

FIXED...
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of weapons given to the Iraq government are....missing...Who is the #1 weapons proliferator in the world?...It ain't Iran...
Iraq did not attack the US, yet they are occupied by the US. Why can't our executive branch play by the rules? |

You realize that the French gave weapons and funds to the colonists, right? Hell, they even provided military leaders to assist organizing the colonists. Does that make them "not peaceful." |

My friend, losing weapons and providing weapons are two different things. Dont tell me now that the U.S purposely gave weapons to the insurgents in Iraq. That also does not make it excusable for Iran do be doing the same thing. |

YES!!!!
We've equipped the same insurgents who were so bad, the American's called the Anbar Province "Triangle of Death". One American commander even wrote the Anbar province off as a "lost territory." Now we've equipped them, and also the shiites, whose government is infiltrated by sectarian death squads who have killed thousands of people and this is by killers in OFFICIAL UNIFORM. We've equipped them. We also equip the MEK, an anti-Iranian terrorist organization on the US FOREIGN TERRORIST LIST. We've supported the terrorist Contras in Nicaragua. We have supported coups, revolutions, and even osama bin laden....
And bush/cheney whackjobs keep yappin as if we don't support terrorism, and have all the fun in the world labeling other countries who do the EXACT SAME THING WE DO!! |

Who is ultimately responsible for those weapons being lost?

Perhaps not, but it does seem to demonstrate us being hypocritical asses, does it not? |

When did the colonists become the British? As for the Iraq = colonists thing, I think our Commander in Chief made that reference first. Remember trying to get them democracy...
The point I was analogizing was that Iran is, much like the French did, funding the people that they hope will control Iraq. It doesn't that we call them part of the Axis of Evil. I mean, who the hell would you support in that instance? |

:rolleyes:
what business does the U.S have to be in Iraq?Why are they providing weapons to the Sunni's to fight the the shia's? |

Iran has every right to fund their Shia neighbors. If Canada were to be attacked do you think the US would send them funding and weapons? Damn right we would because they're our neighbors, and we have quite a bit in common. Same with Iran. The only two countries in the middle east with Shia majorities are Iraq and Iran, so if you understand the hatred between Sunni and Shia you would realize that of course Iran is going to help them.
I consider it to be a huge hypocrisy that the only nation who has used nuclear arms and who is constantly at war seeks to keep others from arming themselves. |
