Iran: Bush shouldn't point fingers on terror
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- President Bush has no authority to accuse Iran of sponsoring terrorism while the U.S. supports "Zionist terrorists" and runs military prisons that use "torture," Tehran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sunday.

Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi's comments responded to last week's State of the Union address by Bush, when he said: "Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve."

Asefi shot back accusations toward Washington, referring to Israel, alleged prisoner abuse at a U.S.-run prison in Iraq and treatment of detainees held as enemy combatants at the U.S. base in Cuba.

1. Saudi Arabia and the United States are the primary state sponsors
of terrorism. Everyone in the world knows this...except Amerikans, of course.

4. Thank God, Russia
stepped up to the plate about 2 weeks ago. They informed Bush and Cronies they're selling missiles to Iran. Against the wild objections of Israel and the U.S.

It's check mate. I think they're trying to curb the Neo Cons' appetite for countries......and they're attempting to establish some sort of balance in the world.

You simply cannot have a lone SuperPower (the U.S.) and hope that things will stay stable. It doesn't work that way. The US has designs on the rest of the world. It wants to make ALL those countries out there little Serfs to the Feudal Lord America. All those little sharecroppers will bring their bags of grain to their Feudal Master, bow profusely, and hope they don't get killed.

Power cannot exist in a vacuum, and that's why Russia, China & India are joining forces to cool our jets.

5. Maybe you could have a lone SuperPower
if the leader was sane. That's not the case, and the rest of the world HAS to join forces, since nothing else is going to stop these idiots.

7. Carpetbaggers is what they were called after the civil war in 1865
After sucessful takeover, all is looted-(spoils of war)
-Guess now it includes the oil, or the "heroin" ----that's right the Heroin--Why do you think they wanted Afganistan...Why do you think there was a record opium crop last year?
Drug trade yields larger profits than oil
--Why do you think we're so interested all the time in South America?
Money money money money--or do they hate us fer our freedumb?
