10 important facts about Iran.....

[Flabbergasted]

1.) Iran is not Nazi Germany

2.) Iran does not have nuclear weapons

3.) Iran was fully complicit with the NPT and IAEA for most of its 40 year history until the axis of evil speech.

3.) Iran is not a threat to the US

4.) Iran has no links to Al Quada or 911.

5.) Iran is in the midst of an economic crisis. Our anti Iranian rhetoric emboldens Iran citizens to follow Ahmadinejad who is otherwise unpopular.

6.) Iran is willing to discuss with the US the prospect of helping Iraq with stability

7.) Iran is more than willing to continue with full compliance with the NPT and IAEA.

8.) Iran rightly wonders why the US increases its own nuclear program to Cold War levels while condeming even the prospect of a nuclear Iran.

9.) Iran wonders why Saudi Arabia, a natural enemy, is allowed a nuclear program while its own nuclear program is condemned

10.) Iran wonders why we give sweetheart deals to India that will increase its own arsenal while condemning Iran'

1. Number Five is especially important. It would help if the Supreme Leader, who

unlike the Midget Mayor, actually has CONTROL over the Armed Forces, would defuse this Brit business.

And it would be helpful if the Supreme Leader would stop putting lines through all of the progressive candidates on the Persian ballots. The Guardians and 'himself' effectively disinfranchised the voting public, by disqualifying thousands of candidates who want to drag Persia back out of the dark ages (again).

The leadership is NOT helping the situation. They're trying to play to nationalism; but it ain't working. The people are still miserable, and nationalism doesn't cut it when there's not enough to eat, the house is cold, the power is cut...

2. poor iran is just so misunderstood

if iran could just help us understand their hatred of all Jewish and how the Holocaust
never happened and other "facts" we could all have a group hug and fix it all.

your "facts" are lacking in the documentation area.

4. Israel can take care of itself. It's vastly more powerful than Iran.

5. With Iran, the right diplomatic and economic pressures properly applied

will allow moderates to gain power. The same type of strategy was working in Iraq, until the monkey puppet-king decided to change.

Politics in the ME is like trying to fix a watch with glass cogs & springs. Bush's only tool is a hammer.

6. Your "facts" are not facts

"their hatred of all Jewish"

The president talks about Israel the nation, not the Jewish people who live in Israel.


"how the Holocaust never happened"

There are people all over the world, including in the U.S., who are Holocaust deniers.


You seem to be confusing the statements of one person with an entire country.

Do you really believe Bush speaks for all Americans?

[Flabbergasted]

8. Which fact are we discussing...1-10

[DanWithAngel]
