And I didn't say you did.
I was just trying to explain why such a plan is bordering on pathalogical stupidity. But I guess that's more or less what we have come to expect from the Bush regime. 
Please clarify "nuclear weapons program." Not according to anything I've read or heard.
Nah, even that is wrong: listen to alanf: if they have a gazillion centrifuges maybe in a few years they would have a small bomb, just one note: with this they are going to conquer the world. I'm sure Orwell had a label for this "doublespeak," your easy label shows how easy it is to create the enemy.
. No doubt Ahad will be p1ssed because that IED was meant instead for an old bus full of Sunni's
IEDs? Sorry, but how do you know those IEDs are going to the Shiites and not the Sunnis? Are you claiming that the Sunnis do not use IEDs? If they do, where do they get them from?alanf85 said:
Iraq is not a democracy. The US gives an order and the Iraqi government jumps. You call that being a vassal state, not a democracy.
Hypocrite.
You tell me. But based on the fact that they still occupy parts of Lebanon (and have started building settlements on the land), I'd say it was a simple land-grab.
It's bullsh!t... that's about it. Hezbollah is on record as saying that Lebanon belongs to everyone in it, including the Christians and other islamic sects. They have no intent to turn it into an Islamic theocracy.
Not really. Hezbollah did not exist before the first Lebanon invasion. Hezbollah has abandoned its aim of making Lebanon an Islamic state. Hezbollah promotes women's rights - hardly the act of a group of fundamentalists hell-bent on imposing Sharia on everyone.
Yeah, still no proof of shia involvement anywhere.
ingly do some forumites here it seems . Have you perhaps claimed it so in previous posts? Maybe I should take as look at your previous posts if I find the time. Hypocrite.
Why not? I thought you said they had a bigger mutual enemy?
So you deny that the Americans handpicked the candidates that were eligible to run for the Iraqi government?
Now that you mention it I probably did. But then it also occurs to me that the Iranian public got to vote for the current president. So come to think of it I guess they are a democracy, even if not a western one.
Oh, yet they won't supply IEDs to the sunnis? Make up your mind, would you?
The Shebaa farms.
Charges of corruption mostly - along with some accusations of putting Syria's interests over Lebanon's. It should interest you that the Christians and other muslim sects are standing with Hezbollah on this one.
I dunno. The west abandoned slavery - should that be worrisome?
Yeah, and last time you made vague claims of answering the thread sometime. I think it's a valid request and it really would save alot of back-and-forthing if we could finish one discussion rather than having to go through the same points nearly verbatim repeatedly. The other thread in question is nice and broad in scope and would do the job best. You say you don't have alot of time - I think that other thread is a great way of having to reduce the time you need to discuss these issues on the forum.

. You are not obligated to post in any of these threads. Anyway I'm not reading through those last posts on that thread again just answer those few questions. ing .
So then who is giving the Sunnis their IEDs? Or do you claim that the Sunnis aren't using them? That would be a pretty ridiculous claim to make.Alanf85 said:
They're only relative hardliners. Just like all the democrats in the US are only relatively liberal. If one looks at the entire possible left/right scale then the US democrats are actually rightwingers.
Well the fact of the matter is that before the 1967 invasion the land was under Lebanese jurisdiction.
Guess you thought wrong.
I see, so the fanatical muslims are incapable of learning or changing, is that it?
Because your last answer indicated you intended to answer at some point.
On the contrary, I feel very much obliged to counter BS when I see it, especially BS propaganda that's used to justify attacking other nations.
That's a pity. I guess I'll just have to make a generic set of responses and use them to refute your claims again and again and again and again, only to have you repeate those same claims the next time you get involved in a thread.

Those stockpiles did not include the IEDs otherwise they would have been used since the start of the resistance against the occupation (they only came later which means someone was supplying them). So, where did they come from?
From the wiki link :
Well the existance corruption isn't always immediately apparent to the outside observer. Funny how all the other Lebanese people other than Hezbollah are now agreeing with the position Hezbollah has taken. Why do you think that is?
So you include the zionists in that particular category then? They were only too happy to bomb british hotels when it suited their purposes.
When did I not answer them?
Not at all. Disagreeing with a fanatic does not make one a fanatic.
Your replies are pretty silly.
