How does Iran's support of Hezbollah differ from US support of Contras?

There's no difference. How funny that the US would divert arms shipments from Iran to the Contras.

Kuwait was created when Churchill hiccuped. That's the big joke. The real issue is what legal, moral or ethical authority did the fat drunken slob have to delimit the borders of Iran, Iraq and Kuwait? None. That's a fraudulent conveyance. Kuwait exists because a British navy captain had negotiated an FCN with a local emir in Kuwait to allow British naval and merchant ships to use the ports (around 1846 or so), and the Brits wanted to create a situation that would allow them to have access to those facilities indefinitely. A little country like Kuwait could be threatened and bullied more easily than a larger country like Iraq.

We don't know the answer to that because we don't know what the US State Department's precise instructions to April Glaspie were, nor do we know what information she was passing back to the State Department, nor do we know how she characterized her meetings with Saddam or what he is alleged to have said. Those communiques and telexes between the State Department and US Embassy Mission Baghdad are classified and not scheduled for declassification review until 2066.

You can obtain them under FOIA (and I believe Judicial Watch is one organization that has), but they're blacked out, making them unreadable and unintelligible.

What is it the State Department is trying to hide?

At least Saddam has a valid reason and some moral and ethical basis.

The US assassinated Ngo Diem and his dim-witted half-brother because why? Ngo didn't want more US troops in Vietnam.

The US assassinated Schemarke because why? He refused to sell oil rights to a conglomerate of Amoco, Texaco, Chevron and Sohio.

The US assassinated King Faisal and General Qasim because they wanted to nationalize Iraqi oil fields.

The US tried three times to assassinate PM Massadeq because he tried to nationalize Iranian oil fields. How funny that Saudi Arabian fields are nationalized but the US didn't try to assassinate the Sauds or remove them from power. Maybe that was because of their relationship with the Bush Family.

The US assassinated Allende for nationalizing International Telephone & Telegraph and a few other industries.

There isn't enough time to cover all of the assassinations and coups in the Caribbean, Latin America or South America sponsored by the US, but the US repeatedly attempted to assassinate Castro for nationalizing the sugar cane fields. God forbid Cuban sugar cane workers should get paid $0.09/hour just like Nicaraguan and Honduran sugar cane workers. I mean if US corporations were forced to pay $0.09/hour to Cuban workers, the US economy would have been destroyed and the US would have burned down, fallen over, sank into a swamp, then puffed up and blown away.

What does that say about a so-called "christian nation" that runs around committing murder in cold blood for profit?
