What the USA did then and does now are wholly different. The USA was not any different than any other nation on Earth- it seeks to influence others to advance its own interest. .
Incorrect.
All imperialist countries use the "advance it's own interest" excuse to try to justify it's meddling in other countries.
America is an imperialist nation.

Neither Russia or China staged a coup d'etat in Iran or any other middle eastern country.
Your lot have been meddling in the Middle East region since 1948.
First by creating the statelet of israel, staging a coup in Iran and Iraq.
And incidentally who built the first nuclear plant in Iran?
Your lot did.

Oh really the US has an itch huh? What about all the other nations that do NOT want Iran to have a this capability?
A lot of nations would love the US/Paki/India/ to not have so many, and of course, the US udder hugger, Zionist Israel, makes people nervous, because they feel that they don't have to allow inspections. They are above the law ??? They want to be top hound over there.
I bet a few Zionist leader's faces turn beet red when anyone suggests an inspection, or accounting. They scream like little girls "Uncle SAMMIE, they are picking on us again. waaaahhhhhh."

OMG you are nuts. The reason that many other countries can have them is because their leaders don't make comments like "they want to wipe another country off the map". I am pretty sure if Obama went around saying he was going to wipe France off the map we would have some issue with the other nations also.
The world is attempting to engage Iran in negotiations : only you and a few other rightwing chair sitters are waffling on about attacking Iran.
And as for the Third Reich jibe.
Your lot only gave up profiterring from WW2 - when the japs dragged you in to the war.
And we thank the Russians - not your lot.
It doesn't matter if you are too hate-filled to give "our lot" due credit along with the Russians. The fact of the matter is that it took all the allies to free Europe in that amount of time.
The world is negotiating with Iran, this is true. But some realize that there needs to be a back-up plan if talking and sanctions fail. Israel can take care of itself and while I personally support them 100% I have no interest in the US getting involved militarily. The Iranian government doesn't directly pose a threat to my country but they are too ensconced with the radical Muslim extremists that could send a nuke over in a container ship. Unlike yourself probably, I actually don't want a major US city to be a radioactive wasteland no matter how much "meddling" the country has done.
That's why Iran can't have nuclear weapons and I'm quite satisfied to sit back and let Israel deal with the problem if sanctions fail. See, for all the left's screeching and stamping the ground, there is no peaceful solution if Iran goes ahead with producing nuclear weapons.

That is correct - it did take the Allies to secure victory in WW2.
You should point this out to your buddy who thinks differently.

Speculative at best.
This sort of speculation you post reminds me of the same type of disinformation posited in the the runup to the Iraq war.
Saddam was allegedly ensconced with radical muslim extremists - according to Bush/Cheney/Wolfowitz/Perle and the rest of the loony rightwingers.

I think the zionists are the only threat to peace in the Middle East.
But we will agree to disagree on this.

Yep! The evil ZOG is behind the whole thing. (Whatever that 'thing' is) Aryan brothers and sisters unite! The evil Zionists are behind it all! Wheww and whoa I says. Someone please pass the bong. (or not)

Interesting that you always refer to the Israelis, very disdainfully of course, as the "zionists". A Zionist, according to the freeonline dictionary, is anyone who supports the existence of the state of Israel. Your many, many postings, either implicitly or explicitly, call for Israel's de-legitimization, and yes, destruction. Hence, your constant railing against the "zionists".
Obviously there are many Zionists outside of Israel. Ready to do your rant on Jews again?
OMG you are nuts. The reason that many other countries can have them is because their leaders don't make comments like "they want to wipe another country off the map".

I'm not simply nuts, I am a dangerous psychotic.
You need an education about what was said in reference to "wiping Israel off the map."

By all means, do have another toke. and another......you appear to be levitating.....up near the van allen belt. (it's a field of debris out in space.) Don't worry ! My friends from Zontar will bring you back.
