What do you think of this as a whole without thinking about the details?

i think the whole problem is the goverment. twenty years of undocumented nuclear activities. the call for israel to be wiped off the face of the earth. supporting a military in palestine to kill innicents. defying the IAEA for no good reason. how do you expect the world to see you. and i know you are not iran but the face of iran is loony.when you ask someone if they have stolen from your store and they say no, yet they will not show you their hands or empty their pockets, you have to assume the are thieves. such is the leaders of iran. i think the world as a whole is misinformed because most only learn about it on the news. i do not hate iran or its people. i am scared that a leader of your country will supply hamas/hezbollah or some other crackpot with the means to kill tens of thousands. if this is not the face iran wants to show then they should change their leader with someone who has some idea of reason.

Most Iranians seem like nice folks, BUT the Mullahs are the Mullahs, and that extremist Islamic movement has ruined your country. And your nukes in those hands makes us extremely nervous.

America has proven itself able to handle the burden of world power. Have your Mullahs? Not likely.

We tried to be nice to Khomeini back in the late Seventies and where did it get us? Over 50 diplomats kidnapped by your so-called revolutionary guards and our embassy trashed. No belief in diplomatic immunity there.

I remember all this quite well. I was a young adult then. You probably weren't even born until the Eighties. There's no forgiveness in me for any of that. Until Iran comes to terms with its act of war against the American people, we will NOT trust you as far as we can throw you.

Trying to distinguish the American government from the American people is an old, low, Leftist trick. It won't wash. WE elect our politicians. YOU get yours appointed by your rotten Mullahs. Theocracy anyone?

Clean up your act, Iranians. It's time for you guys to carry out a revolution in order to dump the horrors of the old revolution. It can be done. Just ask the Eastern Europeans.

Tyranny is tyranny under any name--Nazi, Communist, Islamofascist. If it smells like it, it's tyranny.

Very good informative article with a lot of research.
Thank You.

Reading the responses above I can see there are a bunch of Knuckleheads that don't even want to try to educate themselves.

I think everyone in the world knows what the U. S. oil Barron's are after in Iran........oil.

I find this article very informing if somewhat boring.

as others said your question is too long. Well i got out of Iran
27 years ago. and I am how they say minority, the only reason i and my family and the rest of minority's got out of Iran, was be cause we thought the history will repeat it self. The same thing will happen as it happened in 1915 the ARMENIAN genocide.

well i am very happy and glad to say that i was wrong, it did not
happened., be cause of that i am very grate full.

one other reason that most other people who got out of Iran, was because of the Islamic Laws which forced down to peoples trouts.

I am talking about right after the revolution.

right at this moment in Iran things are not as bad as use to be,
the things that we knew that is happening.

As far as the human rights back then not now. the outrages and UN human things that happen to my fellow Iranians, just because they spoke of FREEDOM.

as far as Females right back then, well i do not know how old you are, if you are young you do not know or no one has told you what the government has done to FEMALES back then
not now.

so lets not go there, it will be very difficult for our American or
others to imagine what really happened right after Khomeini came.

the PASDARS, male or female secret police.

Yes we do have a beautiful city, with 4 different complete season, the most gigantic malls which can not be found in Europe, or any where else.

I would like to open my heart and say the things that i know, but i cant cause still i have relatives over there.

So just lets prey for one day every where all human kinds will have some sort of ever lasting peace.
