From your own article...
Several hundred angry Iranians hurled stones and fire bombs and were forced back by police with tear gas.
Your article has absolutely nothing to do with Iran's atomic issuse. The issuse over the cartoons is stupid, if you make fun of an already high tempered people - what the hell do you think they're going to do? Sit there and take it?
THESE ARE THE LEADERS DOING THIS, not the people. If Iran puts an embargo on you because they don't like a cartoon run in a newspaper based in your country, imagine what they'd do when they're really angry -- and have nukes in their possession.
Imagine what the United States, Great Britian, France, Germany, Russia, China or even North Korea would if they got
really angry at another country...
They blocked trade with a country that barley even trades with them at all and insulted pratically the entire muslim community who are already stressed out. Who cares?
Iran needs to be dealt with ASAP. Their leaders are absolutely insane. Their people are brainwashed into hating Americans. They are a much bigger threat than Iraq ever was. I hope they're next on the agenda. Bin Laden is already wavering. With Iran knocked out, only Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia are left as major terrorist strongholds. It sounds daunting, and it is. The scary thing is that this type of alignment parallels the fall of the Roman Empire. The Arabs brought down the Romans, and the same could happen here. Scary stuff.
Their people don't hate America. Their people hate Bush. They'll fit in perfectly with the P&N crowd.
They hate America. I went to school with an Iranian national and she HATED the US. She went on and on saying things like "How can the US tell us how to use nukes when they are the only nation to deply nuclear weapons against human beings?". She was a propaganda MACHINE. I work with an Iraqi woman, and she too hates the Americans. They never mention Bush, always America.
So you are suggesting people in Iran hate the U.S because some Iranian national in your class said she hated the U.S? I can bring up a handful of people on this board alone who are constantly putting down the U.S and the way the U.S operates. Does that mean they hate the U.S?
What was the only country in the M.E where the people actually went out on the streets with candlelights after the 9/11 attacks? Iran.
There are millions of Iranians and you are basing what goes on inside Iran because of some Iranian "national" in your class in Canada.
Makes no sense.
It makes just as much sense as your stating that they hate Bush, not America.
I've had a few people give me first-hand accounts as to what goes on inside Iran. It ain't pretty. One guy I knew had his jaw shattered and he can barely speak now. He witnessed horrific tortures. The women I've spoken to talk about the totalitarian regime and how they had no rights over there.
That said, they have all expressed a disdain for America. Not Bush, America. Much of what they resent predates Dubya.
I'd put more creedence in someone looking me in the eye and telling me something like that than in CNN any day of the week.
Are you trying to tell me that the people of Iran somehow love America? Where are you getting this information?
