Iran Guilty: Attacked America in 1983
Finally, official recognition that Iran declared war on America back in ' 83 when they murdered 241 Marines in Beirut in what was the single largest non nuclear explosion since World War II.

We wouldn't be in the straits we are in now incapable of defining ourselves, icapable of defending our Western beliefs, and spastic in our approach to winning this war with an enemy who has nothing, NOTHING, except self confidence and a very real understanding of who they are. Pure evil.
