Why unfortunately for Iran? Shouldn't you wait and see the evidence? You are just showing with every post that evidence doesn't matter and that your prejudice against the US rules everything. It's also not true, plenty of countries are pushing back against a coalition until more evidence is provided. SB [Post edited 15 Jun 2019 23:17]

Once again, historical event more than 30 years old. It was certainly wrong and very bad by the US (although it wasn't a precursor to war like people are suggesting this was). It's also not evidence of US fabrication of evidence against Iran now. This seems an incredibly hard idea for people to grasp. You need to treat things on merit, not biased hearsay.

I agree that was not a good flip particilarly as this is a very serious issue. But if you look at my posts on this issue I have tried to stick to the technical issues rather than the political. The more I look at photographic evidence the less convinced I become these atttacks are straightforward. | | | |

To be fair, we could reverse that for you. As a Tory has said it's Iran, it can't be. | |

It's a pointless question. Firstly because it was 30 years ago and secondly because you aren't comparing equal powers. It's Iran was the superpower then everything would be reversed but you know this and thus is why you framed the question in such a way. SB | |

I've not said anyone should believe anyone's word. Hopefully evidence will speak for itself. What is clear is that you won't be the US regardless of the evidence. That's a problem. SB | |

I'm not sure it is actually. As an interested party they should be taken with a (large) pinch of salt. We have the UN and other international neutral bodies for a reason. | |

That's a good point and a much better argument than the simple "US is bad because" argument that has raged for 7 pages. However I do think there is a moral case to be made in many instances. Such "recent" instances would be the first gulf war and the Balkans intervention. It's as I said. Each case should be taken on it's merits as determined by the evidence. I dislike the preconceived statements based on historical precedence for these situations. SB | |

I guess it depends on your definition of interested. I'd also point out that the UN is essentially useless in these matters due to it's structure. For instance in the Balkans conflict China and Russia said they would veto military action designed to stop the ethnic cleansing which was ongoing. A ridiculous position and highlights how it's a fatally flawed "neutral" body. SB | |
