Bout time the Iranian people spoke to the idiots in their
government then.

The problem in Iran isn't so much the government as it is the
clerical
class.

Ahmadenijad has very little power in Iran, but the Ayatollah's
trump
even him.

A while back there was a British journalist who went into Tehran
and it
was a bit disconcerting to me. It was one of those never think
about it
issues but it's a modern city.

More to the point, the sentiment among the people is changing. The
Ayatollah's don't hold much power over the youth in the country.
So we
could see change sooner than later.

Iranians hate the Shah but miss the lifestyle they had under him.
The people want a situation more like Turkey.

And so they went out and elected who they did as their president. I
think your statements here are more wishful thinking and hoping than
anything else -- much like the German sympathizers before WWII.

Do you know a anything about Iran? You probably think they are
Arabs too.

Public support for reform is strong -- see the previous president
who served two terms and was very popular, especially among the
women and youth. You might as well claim America is a bible
thumping nation just because we elected Reagan and the Bush clan.

Or you could read National Geographic's last article on the place.

There is a significant Islamic law faction, but it isn't so much
anti-West as anti-Israel and anti-America. Unfortunately they
got enough power to keep it -- they started keeping reformists
from running for office in 1994.

So you spout off all this misnnformation about Iran and then dare
declare, "Do you know anything about Iran?" Your statement about "see
the previous president" to prove your point is extremely weak, since
they went ahead and elected an anti-Jewish Hitler who wants to destroy
Jews and is doing everything he can to get the job done. Oh, I'm sure
public reform is strong -- up in the hills and mountains where they
run and hide so they can wear their hair the way they want to. Let's
be clear -- wearing hair in an "anti-Islamic manner" is far, far from
"reform." We are talking institutionalized hate here that is bound and
determined to manifest itself by the destruction of an entire state
and its supporters. Your arguments are Larouchian.


You can't seem to tell a Jew from a Zionist. I rather think you need to
work on some shortcomings in the knowledge area.

So you'd drop nukes on a country so people could wear their hair freely? Is
that the US's gift to the world? Did it ever occur to you that the whole
world has its own values ands that what is a value in one place is seen as
immoral someplace else? You'd have us inflict our own lifestyle on the
entire world, at the point of a gun or threat of complete devastation?

Doesn't that sound a tad, oh I dunno - imperialistic?
