Are the policies of USA justified towards Iran? Are the Iranians going to supply the nuclear weapons to Al-qaeda or the USA is protecting its long time ally ISrael? or is it about oil again? please comment.

No, US foreign policies are very unfair. And I believe it is this unfairness and double standard that have most nations and decent people opposing the US government! And as I always say: Hypocrisy or a double standard will render almost anything distasteful! And as per supplying or protecting whoever, I think none of these is the motive of the US government: I believe the US government only seeks to dominate the world and world economy, and fears anyone with enough arms or military capabilities to put up a counter attack. Did Tony Blair not say that, plundering/piracy and the natives' or inhabitants' capability for self-defense do not go hand in hand when he said that "terrorism and disarmament go hand in hand"? One important thing that people need to always remember is that, both the US and British governments are piracy governments that accomplish their agendas by intimidating and plundering others. Simply remember that the above governments are indeed the number one terroristic group on earth and deal with them accordingly, and the world will have some semblance of peace and safety.

I think it has been an enormous show of restraint that the USA hasn't bombed Iran back to the bronze age yet. As far as giving nukes to al-qaeda, I'd say they probably would for one very important reason. Muslims, Jews and Christians pretty much agree on the source of the conflict between our religions. We share many of the same histories and religious heroes and icons. The split between us began with Abraham. He took a slave girl named Hagar and she bore a son named Ishmael, who became the progenitor of the Islamic tradition. He also had a son by his wife, Sarah whom he named Issac. Issac became the progenitor of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Sarah was jealous of Hagar and made Abraham send her away while she was with child (or perhaps the child was newly born. I can't remember.), which was a snub that muslims apparently never forgot or forgave. And God kept His promise by making Abraham's descendents (from both women, ironically) mighty nations as numerous as sand on the shore. Muslims of different ethnic backgrounds will likely always trust each other over Judeo-Christians. And in muslim cultures, trust and loyalties are ironclad. So, getting back to the relevant topic, the USA is considered a Christian country. Which means that Iran would probably deal across sectarian lines (with al-Qaeda) rather than capitulate to the Christians, or the UN, who is widely considered (not unjustifiably) a US-puppet. If the USA goes to war with Iran, it won't be about oil. At the start. But it will probably very quickly become about oil, and how nobody can get any of it. A ridiculous percentage of the world's oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is about 40 nautical miles at the farthest from Iran. Hmm... I might add, on a separate note, that saying that the current war in Iraq is about oil is a cheap cope-out used by those who have little or no deep understanding of the pre-war situation. You seem to be asking intelligent questions, so such a comment is unbecoming.

You take the Iranan leader at his word he wants to distroy Isreal. He also beleives that the end of the world will come when the 12th emaun returns. He as rebuild the well that is where the 12th Emaum is suspose to come from. It was not a little undertakeing it was a several million dollar project. For this to happen it has to be the end of the world. I beleive that he will supply the bombs to anyone who will use them against Isreal or the US. He is a mad man and must be distroyed.
