DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!
A December 2007 U.S. National Intelligence report said that Iran stopped nuclear weapons work in 2003 (read). The CIA (read) and the UN Nuclear watchdog (read) have said there's no evidence Iran is developing nuclear weapons. But even if Iran WERE building a nuclear bomb, what gives the U.S. the right to tell Iran they can’t pursue a nuke given the U.S. and Israel have nuclear weapons?
WHO HAS A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE?
Challenge people to
name one country that Iran has attacked since 1776. The U.S., on
the other hand has been involved in endless and illegal wars of
aggression since its inception (read). The US supported Saddam Hussein's chemical war against Iran in the 1980's (read).
The USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian passenger jet that it had
'mistaken' for a hostile Iranian fighter aircraft, killing all 290
people on board (read). And currently, the US is funding terror groups in Iran to sow chaos (read) and CIA "black-ops" are in Iran trying to achieve 'regime change' (read).
DOES IRAN OVERTHROW DEMOCRACIES?
No, Iran has never
led a coup of a democratically elected government, unlike the U.S.
which has led dozens of coups, including 1953 when the CIA overthrew
Iran's democratically elected leader and installed the Shah (read).
IS IRAN KILLING U.S. TROOPS IN IRAQ?
According to former top U.S. military official Peter Pace, there's no evidence of Iranian involvement in Iraq (read).
But even if there were evidence, it would not justify an attack on
Iran. With its occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. is
surrounding and threatening Iran. What would America do if Canada
and Mexico, for instance, were attacked and occupied by another country
that was hostile towards the U.S.?
IRANIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD
Ahmadinejad did NOT
say Israel should be 'wiped off the map.' What he said is "...
this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" (read). Ahmadinejad recently stated that he does NOT deny the Holocaust (read). Unlike in the United States, the president of Iran does not have the ability to declare war against another country.
BASIC LOGIC
If Iran were to
attack Israel or the U.S. (as the establishment is scaring people
into believing) Iran knows it would be wiped off the map. Has Iran
displayed any mass suicide tendencies in the past? No they have
not.

Iran
has an economy the size of Finland's and an annual defense budget of
around $4.8 billion. The United States has a GDP that is 68 times
larger and defense expenditures that are 110 times greater (read).
