5. If Iran is such a bad guy, wht has Iran Contra been forgotten?

Or what about Republican weapon trades for American hostages.

Or Reagan & his pals telling Iran hold them till the election & then we will pay you.

It is getting to the point where other than North Korea, the US is the worlds worst gangster,
killing anyone who gets in the way of corporate (oil) profits, or even anyone who critiques us.

I watch Soylent Green about once a month, and everytime I see it, the real world looks more
like it. Ya just gotta laff.

I am to the point where extinction of the human race looks like a better outcome for all life on
earth than anything I can foresee happening.


At any rate list the Iran contra crooks who got away with crime & grill the pols as to why we are
messing with Iran & justify why Reaganites sucking Kohemeni ballzz got away with
being in bed with "terror"?


To answer the original question, we have better media control & now propaganda ia allowed to be used in the US against us by our wonderful leaders. Thats the only difference.

Iran probably kills people who endanger Iran, we kill anyone we or Israel wants to.

That's the only difference I see.
