(CNN) -- The Iranian parliament on Saturday voted to designate the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Army as terrorist organizations, IRNA, the country's state-run news agency, reported.

The Iranian parliament said the condemnation was based on "known and accepted" standards of terrorism from international regulations, including the U.N. charter.

The parliament said it condemns the "aggressions by the U.S. Army, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan" and calls on the United Nations to "intervene in the global problem of U.S. prisons in Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and secret jails in other countries," IRNA reported, quoting a statement from Iranian lawmakers.

The Iranian parliament also decried the CIA's and U.S. Army's involvement in the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, U.S. involvement in the Balkans, Vietnam and the U.S. support of Israel.

1. Give it another year

We'll be calling the 'Red Crescent' a terrorist organization and they'll be calling the 'Girl Scouts'one too.

2. It's a logical response....

to Congress passing the ridiculous Lieberman-Kyl Amendment. They're admitting that their Parliament can be equally asinine to our Congress.

4. Except I think the Iranians are more deeply seeped in truth

The big Bully the USA has terrorized a large part of the Earth. Do you think american Indians were ever terrorized by the USA or the Vietnamese where we "must destroy the village to save it". How about El Salvadore where our sponsored death squads terrorized the population for years. I believe most countries will be much more sympathetic to the Iranians than the Americans on this issue because of our past deeds. Point to any such deeds by the Iranian government. What countries has Iran invaded since WW II?

3. Yay! Maybe next they'll vote that any captured US soldiers aren't subject to the Geneva Convention

And Bush will declare them a dangerous rogue nation for that, and the media will eat it up. :crazy:
