No, actually your quote shows that you cannot read.
The piece of mine that you quoted clearly refers to American actions.
That's an outright falsehood. You said
Iran does NOT swan around the globe telling other countries what to do and calling itself 'the Land of the Free'.
Nor does it insist on invading other countries, ostensibly to impose its way of life and 'freedoms' on them, when really its rulers are just after the invadees' natural resources
Now you're trying to pretend that this doesn't refer to Iran?
You, on the other hand, said that I was saying that Oil was Iran's motivation in the Iran-Iraq war, no doubt to try to muddy the waters yet again.
No, I am saying that you are implying that oil WASN'T one of Iran's motivations. Clearly, you're the one with the reading comprehension problem.
Right, so I have to cite evidence for anything and everything that you disagree with, whereas you can just throw personal insults at your opponents, invariably demand proof from them, and don't have to provide any evidence whatever to support your viewpoint?
Don'ttry to pretend that there's a double standard. You have shown yourself to be arguing in bad faith (the fact that you are pretending that I haven't presented any evidence to support my views is simply more proof of that), and therefore there is little sense in wasting time producing evidence that you're just going to ignore, nor is there any reason to accept anything you say without proof. Furthermore, I'm not the one who made this personal. My comments were in response to your extremely rude posts.
I asked that question of your fellow-traveller Azure,
Fellow traveler? You sure are quick to lump other peopl into categories, aren't you?
and he has ducked it twice - you merely jumped in an attempt to distract readers from the fact...
Yes, that's right. I posted merely to distract readers from the subject that YOU wanted to discuss. The entire universe revolves around you.
Well, let's see - Azure won't answer the question, and apparently you won't either.
No, I can't, because the question is based on a false premise.
Hmm, let's see - I offer you more proof than has ever been offered by the Cheney regime to justify its illegal actions
What proof have you offered that they were in Iranian waters?
- or indeed by you and your fellow-travellers on their side - and you just say "that doesn't count!", rather than offering any shred of evidence to discredit what I have offered.
There's nothing to discredit. Claiming that someone has done something, then, when challenged on it, wasting other people's time presenting a cite that merely shows
motive, shows that you're not worth responding to.
