Sleepless>>1) The last time Iran went to war was with its neighbour Iraq from 1980 to 1988. That war reoertpdly resulted in loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, maybe even in excess of one million - if you can believe those newspapers.>>Me:That war was started by Saddam, with America's backing. Iran just had a revolution that overthrew the Shah (America's puppet) and everyone thought Iran was disunited. So Saddam invaded with full US backing. During that war, US supplied Iraq chemical weapons - yes, the very WMDs Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 for! Saddam used those chems on Iranian troops. Iran brought this to the attention of UN, but of course, UN sat on it. >>2) Nobody cried against Bush's invasion Iraq? Every day there were reports of protests against the war. Many of US's allies objected. Some British citizens even travelled to Baghad and gathered themselves in places where the Allied Forces were expected to bomb. Even a nobody like me in tiny Spore blogged against his actions.>>Me:Yes, only citizens objected it. So what? It is the govts that either support or stay silent. Citizens can do nothing.>>3) Modern Israel was created by a UN Resolution in 1947 not a story in the Bible. Pls don't bring religion into this debate.>>That Resolution is the direct result of the Jewish claim that the Bible, the Promised Land belongs to the Jews. What talking you?>>4) I think I read a report where the Iranian president denied that there ever was a holocaust. Another newspaper lie?>>Wrong. He questioned the numbers killed. Many European academics also question that. But to question the Holocaust in Europe is a crime. So these professors land up in jail.Why is questioning Holocaust a crime? Europe purports to promote freedom of speech, yet makes questioning Holocaust a crime?
