Hey the Grand Infidel,

Kindly go through my comments on Western involvment in Iran's internal affairs since the days of Mohammad Mossadeq and then the Western backing for the brutal shah regime. There is no doubt that the animosities you see from Iran against Western policies is based upon those past Western interfaring in Iranian internal affairs.

As per as Iran-Iraq war is concerned do not forget it was the West which supplied Saddam HUssain with poisonus gasses which Saddam used to kill his own citizens. It is clear that without western help Saddam would not have dared to attack Iran.

As per Nelson Mandela is concerned he was called a terrorist by both the US as well UK governments at the time. Kindly go through some of the "nationalreview" magazine's columns on the situation in south africa at the time.

When compared to Israel or the USA Iran has never attacked any one of it's neighbours. This is a historical fact and even people like you can not deny it.

Take care.

Debanjan
