On that I will agree. So, you agree with the US facilitating the murder of Ghaddafi but excuse Iran?

So by your logic, you have no right to snivel about hitlery's actions.
From your article:
"They are often injured military service members or families of dead service members who suffered from Iranian-sponsored terrorist acts such as the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon and more recently its furnishing of improvised explosive devices to terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan."
SOLDIERS get to sue when they get shot at, now?
Since your complaint goes back to 1983, let's step a few years farther back when we toppled their democracy to give BP their oil, and we put the torturing shah over them. Was that terrorism?
Yes, it was.
Control your government, or stop whining about the enemies you let it bring you. And try to apply a STANDARD - not your biases.
Ever read John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"?
"Economic hit men,” John Perkins writes, “are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder.”
John Perkins should know—he was an economic hit man. His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the U.S.—from Indonesia to Panama—to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development, and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to U. S. corporations. Saddled with huge debts, these countries came under the control of the United States government, World Bank and other U.S.-dominated aid agencies that acted like loan sharks—dictating repayment terms and bullying foreign governments into submission.
This New York Times bestseller exposes international intrigue, corruption, and little-known government and corporate activities that have dire consequences for American democracy and the world. It is a compelling story that also offers hope and a vision for realizing the American dream of a just and compassionate world that will bring us greater security.
