U.S. set to brand Iran's Revolutionary Guard as terrorists

A U.S. decision to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a foreign terrorist organization fuelled speculation Wednesday the White House is laying the groundwork for air strikes against the hardline Islamic nation before President George W. Bush leaves office.
.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
.
Foreign policy analysts were surprised Wednesday by the reported White House decision, which would mark the first time in history that the U.S. has formally declared the armed forces of a sovereign nation to be terrorists.
.
Whatever next?
.
The Revolutionary Guard operates its own naval, land and air forces independently from the Iran's regular armed forces, but has expanded its domestic operations recently to include commercial ventures ranging from oil production to infrastructure.
.
Did I imagine the word domestic here? How does that make them terrorists?
.
In another article it said: “Maybe the Revolutionary Guards have done certain things in their own backyard,” said Saeed Leylaz, an economist and a reformist political analyst, referring to Afghanistan and Iraq. “But they have also cooperated with Americans there.”
.
So cleaning up your own backyard to sort out your business is terrorism? Helping out in the process is also terrorism? What about invading other countries miles away just on a flimsy excuse which proves later to be a lie?
Shakes my head!
