So now you make excuses and appologies for terrorists? The fact that Iran turns a blind eye to such activities only shows they condone and encourage such behavior.

Samadi claimed 30,000 volunteers have signed up, and 20,000 of them have been chosen for training. Volunteers had already carried out suicide operations against military targets inside Israel, he said.
But he said discussing attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq "will cause problems for the country's foreign policy. It will have grave consequences for our country and our group. It's confidential."

I agree attacks on trade are not one sided. Thank goodness America knows how to deal with unprincipled nations who hide behind the WTO and agreements like NAFTA.

The US uses the WTO, NAFTA and other trade agreements to attack everyone else too. Its not one-sided.

One historically effective policy method has been to use tariffs against specific industries and their products on a country by country basis. While trade issues are discussions are dragged out and rulings appealed again and again, the targeted foreign industry player(s) often end up going out of business or end up in bankruptcy. This has allowed American owned business to move in and buy those productive foreign assets from bankruptcy at 5 to 10 cents on the dollar. Once the assets are under American ownership, tariffs can then be lifted. This is just one of many effective strategies that continue to help keep America strong and its people free.

I should remind you that Vice President Cheney, as CEO of Haliburton, was lobbying Clinton so that he could do deals with Iran.

You can't do deals with terrorists. Clinton understood this and so does Bush. You can only do favorable deals with pro American governments.
