    Your giving them too much credit. Iran kills their own people in mass. Just because they want actual democracy and a non oppressive regime. They fund terror groups around the world. People seem to forgot about 9/11 now and how they are helping Russians with their drones to invade Ukraine. They are evil as they can be.

      I haven’t forgotten about 9/11.

      Which country funded 9/11 and provided support/logistics and passports to the hijackers (our friend’s name starts with an “S”

      You get one chance to answer correctly.

      Also, in so doing you also need to remind everyone here which country had zero involvement in 9/11.

      You know who funds terrorism even more? The United States does - the Mujahideen, the Contras, Salvadoran death squads, Syrian jihadists, Mexican cartels, I could go on and on - and the CIA have conducted countless terror operations across the globe for decades, such as Operation Mongoose.

      9/11 was nothing to do with Iran. 9/11 was done by Al Qaeda, a Sunni group supported by Saudi Arabia. Iran is a Shia majority country. There is absolutely no evidence that Iran had any involvement whatsoever with 9/11. In fact, the Ayatollah that Trump just assassinated, Ali Khamenei, and the President of Iran, Mohammad Khatami both condemned and denounced the attacks.

      You know, the Russian invasion of Ukraine reminds me of something - the US invasion of Iran.

      You know who executes innocent people in the streets? The United States. Remember ICE?

      Iran has a terribly oppressive regime. It comes NOWHERE CLOSE to the evils perpetuated by the United States or Israel. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

        All states are bad, but none of them are as irredeemably evil as the United States of America. It isn’t even close. That’s my whole point.
