Don't be absurd

AN animated President George Bush has termed "absurd" the feeling among some Europeans that the US is more of a threat to stability than North Korea and Iran, the two countries he once described as part of an "axis of evil"

Really? Let's see what the facts say:

USA in the past 50 years has invaded or attacked: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Grenada, Libya, Panama, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia. None of these nations attacked the US first.

Iran has attacked Iraq, after the US gave Saddam chemical weapons and intelligence to attack Iran. They also had a stoush with the Taliban, when they were our allies. In fact in the last 100 years Iran hasn't attacked anyone, driven up world oil prices, started a global scramble for nuclear weapons or threatened to nuke countries without nuclear weapons.

Draw your own conclusions.
