Lo ciento

A laudable goal.

The Iranians dislike and/or distrust Israel, and that's understandable. The warmongering regime in Tel Aviv wants to attack Iran, after all. And, no doubt, Iranians distrust the U.S. Government because of its slavish support for Israel.

You say:

"The Shah allowed a lot of western influence"

Like that was a GOOD thing?!

I seem to recall that the Shah's secret police were second ONLY to the MOSSAD for DEPRAVITY. Oh yeah: they were TRAINED by the fucking MOSSAD! How could i forget?

I also seem to recall several TONS of GOLD adorning the Shah's HOLY toilets while most Persians were eking out an existence as serfs of US-UK oil companies or desperately traversing the Caspian to supply the multi-billionaire Z-ionist cocksuckers with tons of caviar and KIDNAPPED Iranian women moving through Israhell and "Kosovo". Mostly KIDNAPPED and SOLD.

Nice little system you got there…so, tell us, how much did your Iranian "wife" cost you? I'm guessing a little less than the KIDNAPPED Eastern European girls currently being transacted through your stooge states of "Kosovo" and that vile fucking godless state Georgia? – all of witch is being orchestrated out of ISRAHELL.

You people will have to face the music one day. I wonder, will you be heroes like the Arabs? Or will you be simpering fucking cockroaches that i know you to be?

I feel the current regime in Israel, not Iran, poses the greatest threat against peace in the middle east. I think Obama should threaten to withhold the 3-1/2 billion dollars we give Israel every year if they do a preemptive stike on Iran. Iran is justified under the Nonproliferation Treaty to develop nuclear energy for domestic use. Even if Iran did develop a nuclear weapon, it would be for the purpose of a deterrance against Israel and the US. I doubt that no matter how fanatical the mullahs and Ahmadinejad might be, I doubt they would be stupid enough to use nukes against country when they know that Israel and the US could obliterate their country in retaliation.

"Rhetoric aside, the Barack Obama administration has shown a great deal of continuity with the George W Bush administration, by pursuing, in part via its Iran point man, Dennis Ross, the diplomatic track of bifurcating the region into "moderate" and "radical" camps. The former includes Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, with Iran, Syria, Hamas in Palestine and Lebanon's Hezbollah in the other camp.

The election for the 10th president of Islamic Republic exposes the hypocrisy and double standards of putting the considerably more democratic Iran below authoritarian Arab monarchies, as there is nothing "moderate" about the repression of women or Shi'ite minorities in Saudi Arabia, no matter how Washington spins it.

More than the nuclear issue, what the conservative oil sheikdoms in the Persian Gulf fear is Iran's brand of Islamist democracy that has mobilized masses of Iranians. The long-demobilized and politically docile populations in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates) could use Iran as a reference society and question the legitimacy of their archaic and tribal political systems that are perpetuated by the US for the sake of geo-economic and geostrategic interests."

In spite of the appalling treatment Iran has received at the hands of the west, the pro-western sympathies are still strong. The slightest concession from the Bush administration in late 2001/early 2002 might have set in motion a profound change of the politics of Iran and seriously challenged the hold of the religious loonies.

Of course that other religious loony, George W. Bush and his crew of criminal incompetents completely mishandled the situation with their 'axis of evil' poppycock. (Surprise, surprise.) Yet another opportunity flushed down the toilet of history. Yet another reason to loathe them until kingdom come.
