I agree with Iran's vice-president, Mohammad Reza Rahimi. This is terrorism.

No, you have it all wrong. It is only terrorism when it is perpetrated against the US or one of its allies.

Beware of Jews on motorcycles.. when you hear them approach, slow down, and zip off... you have seconds to live.

@meeproach

I don't care what it's called as long as Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon.

IT'S NOT TERRORISM WHEN WE DO IT

Def. Sec. Panetta Say Iran Not Building Nukes

@onemob

Right. Because every time they start making progress, they get meepslapped.

"...And don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine, messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgment, and it seems that I can hear God saying to America, "You're too arrogant! And if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power..."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

@BeachGoat

Tell that to a Republican.

They are considering "punishment" for the nations involved.

I keep picturing Slim Pickens in a cowboy hat.

So they're going to blow up a bunch of innocent civilians because they can't catch two terrorists on a motorcycle.
I smell melted sand.

Notice how it is ok for them to retaliate to a terrorist attack against them (about time they had that particular shoe on their feet), but if one of their targets retaliates, the target is an imperialist devil and must be destroyed. (Ok, America does seem to have some strong imperialist tendencies, along with the UK and Europe).

@Fortythreepercent

Care to be any more ambiguous in your meepslapping statement?

I love the smell of a double bind on the interwebs.

"Iran condemns the West for its foreign policy double standards. First, before the victory
of the Islamic Revolution, Western countries encouraged Iran to build nuclear power
plants; after the revolution, the West changed its policy, attempting to prevent a nuclear
Iran from emerging. Second, Iran signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)9
and Non-Proliferation Treaty, but other countries such as Israel, India and Pakistan have
not signed the NPT, nor are their nuclear programs under the supervision of IAEA inspectors.
In 2005, in fact, US President George Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
reached an agreement on civilian nuclear energy cooperation while Iran's nuclear program
was condemned by the West. Of the US-India agreement, IAEA Director-General Mohamed
ElBaradei claimed it represented
'An important step towards satisfying India's growing need for energy, including
nuclear technology and fuel, as an engine for development. It would also bring
India closer as an important partner in the non-proliferation regime. It would
be a milestone, timely for ongoing efforts to consolidate the non-proliferation
regime, combat nuclear terrorism and strengthen nuclear safety. (VandeHei &
Linzer, 2006)'
But at the same time IAEA adopted a different stance towards Iran, creating ill will among
its citizens. The organization's pronouncements were seen not only as a form of nuclear
discrimination but also as a slight against Iran's national dignity."

The Logic Behind Iran's Uncompromising Nuclear Policy

You are comparing India (prime minister) to Iran (ayatollah)? India is a peace loving, forward looking, progressive nation.

Iran, notsomuch.

@godevillivedog

Don't you believe it. Remember the India/Pakistan "wars" back in the '70's, and do not mention Bangladesh to an Indian unless you want your face re-arranged.

India is a pissed-off nation, because they are considered a third-world country by most of the West, when in fact their civilization is far older, and their culture far richer, than that of most of the Western World.

Do not make the mistake of under-estimating India, or their willingness to fight.

Now done gone and pissed off the Indians.....

@dragonstaff

Anybody will fight when somebody starts swinging at them. India is, I think, probably one of the most spiritually developed of the developed nations. Pretty much past the lusting for empire and delusional jihad meep that will eventually be the end of us all. Iran will never learn to live and let live, and I doubt we will either. But then again there was that one time I was wrong before.

@godevillivedog

You are right about Iran and the US, but I think that India will come out swinging in the next fifty years. They have the Chinese problem- too many Indians and not enough India.

@Fortythreepercent

I don't care what it's called as long as Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon.

Well, I don't care what your reasons are for saying that, it's a stupid thing to say. You've just pissed on a quarter million graves, including 48,430 dead or wounded Americans who sacrificed and were sacrificed fighting a war against terrorism, and there you go saying you endorse terrorism. May all those souls have mercy on yours.

@meeproach

That's fine that you consider that terrorism. I really don't. Also, the War on Terrorism is just a name. I don't think they were fighting against the concept of terrorism, they were fighting jihadi war. Otherwise, we would have had troops on the ground in Chechnya, Spain, and Northern Ireland.

@Fortythreepercent

Let me get this strait.. Blowing up cars on busy urban streets is not terrorism. In your head, US troops were not "fighting terrorism" they were fighting a "jihadi war". I didn't realize after 9/11 Bush had issued a fatwa.

Now explain how leaving North Ireland off the American Jihad target list, which begun in 2001, demonstrates the "War on Terror is just a name".

While you struggle to connect the dots of your own argument, please include your intellectually consistent definition of terrorism which supports your opinion that blowing up cars with people traveling in them as they move through urban traffic in any city is not terrorism.
