Tehran or Bust

Mr (Dr) Ahmedinejad, always seemed to me an agreeable person, who was not a warmonger. I do not feel, that he will go to war against any nation, unless his nation is attacked. That he feels for his brothers in the West Bank, and that too strongly, should not be seen as threatening. But there must be other ways of bringing peace to the West Bank, than to sound aggressive. Iran is indeed a noble nation, and how can Ahmedinejad be any different?

Could you please help me find these things Sir?

What's that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things??
We the People of the United States of America ! You know, the ones that vote.

This photo shoot of selected Iranians is not an accurate reflection of the reality in Iran. The US has hoped that the younger Iranians would at some point change the mood and the relationship of Iran to the rest of the international community. This has been a false hope since the Shah was overthrown and has not changed. When outside the country, Iranians will speak of the difficulties they face in day to day life and the restrictions of living in an Islamic State. Liberty as we know it cannot emerge in a State where punishment is swift and severe and torture is still practiced. The Black Turbans still have the final say in the direction of the Iran and control it absolutely - the "titular" President is the public face - but the clerics are still in control - let there be no doubt.

I keep reading commentaries on the Hostage crisis, human rights records, and all other negatives on Iran, from some of the commentators, who have been completely brainwashed by the very biased and narrow media in US. These comments are interesting coming from a country who keeps meddling in other countries affairs openly and self righteously; who is the proud manufacturer of Abu Gharib and other secret torment chambers managed by Mossad; who has openly contributed directly and indirectly to MILLIONS OF DEATHS of locals in the middle east and Africa, etc... Who tries to dictate to everyone how to do things their way or else; has been unable to address the numerous racial issues within their own country after all this time; is merciless to its own people; steals from its own people and fills the pockets of lobbyists; has not been able to provide healthcare, social justice, financial stability, compassion, and peace for its own nation; the youth and future generation is highly neglected as budget cuts first hit schools and the poor within a system; which has made education completely useless; the old and retired are treated mercilessly by the system, by the culture, and their selfish oriented families, forced to work or starve to death, and die alone; etc... And yet they have the nerve to criticize and demonize others. First fix the issues that plague your own shack and then try to remodel other people's homes!

>> "Let us not forget that Iran held Americans hostage while President Carter was in office."

umm, did you not know that the US overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran and installed their own? The people Iran held hostage were those who had helped organized the coup to take over Iran. The US was fully in the wrong, and holding hostage the people who had just been holding their whole country hostage is not a bad thing.


>> "Let us not forget that Iran killed up to one million Iraqis in the war."

The US green-lighted Iraq to attack Iran. Let us not forget that. It appears you're, astoundingly, suggesting that it was wrong of Iran to fight back. Let's not forget the US responsibility for the Iraq-Iran war then, and the responsibility for the US-Iraq war now.

>> "Iran is a xenophobic country."

Let us not forget, the US is a xenophobic country. So are other prominent first world countries, perhaps most notably, Japan. Iran is not xenophobic. You clearly are not a world traveler. I suggest you head to Iran instead of spreading falsehoods.

The gentleman wrote that it is time to stop pointing fingers. That is easy to say but there are still fundamental differences which cannot be erased. Iran is a belligerent country. Unfortunately, I cannot find it excusable that just because the hostages came home that that should make the Iranian regime any less culpable. I would like to know what common ground this writer is referring to. Is he referring to the idle threats that Iran makes or the fact that Iran attempted to do everything in its power to destabilize Iraq? One would have thought that the Iranian regime would have been grateful that America decided to spare Iran and invade Iraq. I also find the point about discovering each other a little mystifying. This is a country which would rather fight the U.S through proxies in Iraq. Is this a sign of a noble country? This is a country which has no respect for the dictates of war.

???I said that the terrorists intercepted by the FBI on the way to my house in February of 1987 to kill my wife, children and me were Libyans, dispatched from the People???s committee for Libyan Students in McLean, Virginia. I did say that the Federal government had moved my family out of our home to a military base until they could dispatch more than 30 agents to protect my family from those terrorists because a liberal Federal judge had allowed the Lybian assassin to post bond and they fled. Those federal agents remained at our home until I retired from the marines and was no longer a ???government official. By then, the United States government had spent more than 2 million dollars protected the North family. The terrorists sent to kill us were never re-apprehended.???
