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. |

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. --Tedward |

I think your statements here are more wishful thinking and hoping than anything else -- much like the German sympathizers before WWII. Their president is a powerless figurehead. That's it. He only exists to give the appearance of a parliamentary system of government. The council of Mullahs controls the country. And they are very unpopular. Bear in mind the majority of the population was born after 1980. They have had a taste of Western life and they would like a whole lot more. They don't remember life under the Shah, a bloody and ruthless dictator that we installed, so they only see the happy side, if you will of the West. Drop nukes on them, and all 71 million of them will change that tune in an instant and you will see a backlash the likes of which cannot even be imagined. One thing about Iran, they are all Persians and all Shia Muslims (well those who are not Christians anyway). There is no ethnic or religious strife to divide them. The road to war is for the insane and that unfortunately is who we have in the drivers seat. Paul |

Paul - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So you are blaming the hatred of Jews by the Iranians on Bush's speech? Come on! A.) They don't hate Jews. They hate Israel for the genocide it has infliced on the Palestinians and the US for its blanket support of Israel despite Israel violating charter after charter regarding the treatment of the Palestinians. That is why *all* the Arab states are anti-Israel. "All rational assessments" = all of those you agree with since the irrational ones, of course, are the ones with much shorter time periods that you would rather not believe. B.) Even our own CIA says years and not months. At the current rate of enrichment they are years from achieving the quantity they need. Even our own IA says there is more than enough time to work with them. And there is every indication they want us to. The reason we have not is this: the US has stated that before any substantive talks begin, they much give everything up. So they have to give up their bargaining chip to begin bargaining. You explain just how that works because I can't. Kind of like going to Vegas and just giving the casinos all your money because you can't win anyway. Unfortunately, the Iranians themselves are contradicting your statements regarding what they have and what their attentions are. I know you would rather hide your head in the sand and hope it will all go away, but the Iranian leadership has said many, many times that they want to get rid of Israel. Actually, no they have not said it in those terms. They have predicted Israel will fall due to its own crimes against humanity They have also said that Israel has brought it on themselves. That is not the same as them saying they were going to wipe out Israel. They could not, they would have to also fight the US, Britain, Australia and most of Europe who have signed pacts to protect the country. Does Iran know this - yes they do. Their philosophy calls for it and even dictates their salvation in an apocalypse scenario. C.) Israel has an estimated 60 nuclear bombs each 10 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Who is the nuclear threat? Who can terrorize who? Do you think Iranians are suicidal? Do you think they don't know all this? They do. If they launch one feeble warhead, they will be literally annihilated and they are not stupid, they know it. Umm, are you saying it's legal for them to make a nuclear bomb? Every US and foreign agency in the busienss of knowing these things including the IAEA has inspected their facilities and continues to do so and has stated that there is no sign of any work being conducted to produce weapons grade materials. Iran has allowed full and open inspections. These are the same agencies that said Iraq had no nuclear program and no WMDs and were correct. Who do you trust? All "rational" sources have said they are trying to get one. Nope, exactly none. Well Bush, yes. But he's about it. Why do you think the N. Koreans are running around there? For the pleasant scenery? D.) There is emerging info that N. Korea had no role in the allegations about sales to Syria. It is looking like *all* that NK had was used up in their botched test earlier. Which is why they are now giving it up. Why bomb Iran and not NK? NK actually had material and technology yet we negotiated a settlement. No oil. NK did not have oil. Just a coincidence, I am sure that Iran - oh does. Just remember who elected their president in the first place. Ahmadinajad is not a real president. He has exactly no power at all. He is a figurehead. He gives speeches. He talks to the citizenry. He could not start a war if he wanted to. You've fallen for the rhetoric and the lies. Just like I am sure you did with Iraq. Once again you are trusting the people that lied us into the first mess and like deja vu all over again they are repeating it almost verbatim. And it seems to be working if you are typical. Paul |

It does in Lebanon - or used to. The Prime Minister was, by law, a Christian and the President a Muslim (or vice-versa, I forget). Lebanon was once the Rivera of the Middle East: banking center, vacation spot, high standard of living. Then the PLO was evicted from Jordan and moved to Lebanon. The country's been a basket case ever since. |

It was a beautiful modern looking city, and I walked all over it, sometimes alone, and always in uniform. Never had any problem, and most times I was ignored. I and two others took a taxi up to Baalbek for a visit to the ruins. The best time was in September, when we would go ashore, and look at all the latest new American cars riding around. I spent 26 months over in the Med. .. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

I normally avoid looking at such threads, but made the mistake of doing so for this one. You, at least, normally post reasonable stuff; but when we're talking about blowing people into pieces, I think more thought is needed than is put by most people here; and some personal experience of what it actually involves (beyond parliamentary discussions, I mean) should probably be mandatory-not much hope of that, though.

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. I guess Lebanon is similar in many ways, most people lead a life not that far removed from many in the "Western World" but sadly the separation of Church and State does not occur.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So you interpret the "Western World" lifestyle as -- hou?

http://www.lucasgray.com/video/peacetrain.html You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig. Iran's people are repressed by their insane govt. Nice looking pics, but sooner or later something has to be done about Iran and its nuclear weapons program. What is really fascinating is the (past) protests over US weapons but not a frigging peep over N Korea, Iran or Syria. I guess its ok for them to have them eh? After all they have been very responsible world citizens... NOT. |

I haven't seen you protesting all the WMD's that have been found buried across the US since 2001. Maybe there's some reason people protest some directions and not others. rich -- -to reply, it's hot not warm +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ \ Rich Hammett http://home.hiwaay.net/~rhammett / Barry Goldwater: "Every good Christian should line up \ and kick Jerry Falwell's ass." |
