That's how most of their actions make it look. Hell, it's what I would do if I were the Iranian government. However, I don't know what, if anything, we should do about it.
However, nothing about my vote or what I wrote is conclusive of anything other than how I think. That's all we're talking about here, what we think. Actually, that's all we EVER talk about - which is one reason I hardly ever see a reason to get bent out of shape...

I'm not bent out of shape, but I am explaining my take on the thread. I could easily say "I think that George W. Bush is a Satan worshiper" and no one could argue that it's what I think...they could argue that there is no proof or reason in my statement, however. That is what I was doing. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but when we state conclusively that Iran does or it doesn't, we get right back in the same boring useless partison conversations we always end up in. The internet is about everyone having opinions without being held to them. TFP is a safe haven for constructive thought in a sea of 14 year olds spewing uneducated opinions. I want to hold Mojo's feet to the fire, and I want him to do the same to me. Without crisitism and critical thought, we're all just 14 year olds spewing useless opinions.
