Another Chinese post... :headshake
Fact: The United States has a great tradition of private giving, unequalled in most of the other countries with whom we are regularly compared. In 2004, private assistance flowing from the United States totaled $48 billion. This includes charity from private foundations, corporations, colleges and universities, religious organizations and NGOs, as well as individuals. It also includes personal remittances, about $28 billion. The U.S. government, of course, has no role in directing remittances, but facilitates these transactions through immigration and commerce legislation.
Yes yes, USA is well known for its under the table 'charity'.

I'll leave it at that. I don't want you to choke on your words too badly.

^^ I will bet that USA makes up most of the other 85% of arm sales, so prove me wrong.
Why don't you ever post who your sources if you are going to disregard any source that isn't from a blind Bush nationalist like yourself?
Why are you telling people to post about US-Iran when you are derailing this thread with every post? We are trying to discuss what the US is doing and when you cannot defend your empire, you talk about China and Cambodia.
Coming soon....
I don't know if Iran is pursuing a weapons program, and if so, whether or not we have the moral authority to allow them or not.
But I do know that those photographs do zip to support your contention. Particularly the nuclear weapon detonation... which was in all probability, was carried out by the US.
Here is an equally irrelevant photo of US police beating up a harmless, overweight, middle aged lady.
Ummmmm......yeah.....that photo doesnt show what happened leading up to that. who knows, she may have even deserved it...
Should the U.S. actually take Benjamin Netanyahu’s advice and attack Iran, don’t expect a few sorties flown by a couple of fighter jocks. Setting back Iran’s nuclear efforts will need to be an all-out effort, with squadrons of bombers and fighter jets, teams of commandos, rings of interceptor missiles and whole Navy carrier strike groups ”” plus enough drones, surveillance gear, tanker aircraft and logistical support to make such a massive mission go. And all of it, at best, would buy the U.S. and Israel another decade of a nuke-free Iran.
* “Israel does not have the capability to carry out preventive strikes that could do more than delay Iran’s efforts for a year or two.” Despite the increasingly sharp rhetoric coming out of Jerusalem, the idea of Israel launching a unilateral attack is almost as bad as allowing Tehran to continue its nuclear work unchallenged. It would invite wave after wave of Iranian counterattacks ”” by missile, terrorist, and a boat ”” jeopardizing countries throughout the region. It would wreak havoc with the world’s oil supply. And that’s if Israel even manages to pull the mission off ”” something Cordesman very much doubts.
* The U.S. might be able to delay the nuclear program for up to 10 years. But to do so, it’ll be an enormous undertaking. The initial air strike alone will “require a large force allocation [including] the main bomber force, the suppression of enemy air defense system, escort aircraft for the protection of the bombers, electronic warfare for detection and jamming purposes, fighter sweep and combat air patrol to counter any air retaliation by Iran.”
But the first attack might actually be the easy part, writes Cordesman, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The Persians I have met are not a bad bunch of people.
It seems that the religious extreme Islamist knuckle draggers, have hijacked that nation.
I would hope that Iran would not be attacked, but it looks increasingly likely.
