I don't think this is true. Elections in the United States have their irregularities, for sure, but the results don't seem as blatantly made up. Most people agree that elections generally follow the will of the people, as opposed to the will of some third-party religious leader like a Christian version of the Ayatollah.
You really believe that Bush won fair and square? that the elections weren't rigged?
Are you talking about Ahmadinejad? He isn't really governing anything. He's essentially a figurehead with a little bit of power over domestic affairs and a soapbox.
He indeed talks alot, I'd rather he shut up and do (not sure what for his own folk), but I like the fact that he riles the west so
The real leader of Iran is Ayatollah Khameini.
You do know that khomeni is dead right? he was also 89 when he died
There you go, generalizing the entire United States.
No, I am really not, the way democracy works is that majority rules, sometimes majority rules by a landslide sometimes by the skin of their teeth.. we can agree that there will always be a portion of the population extremely unhappy, and extremely loud, and their loudness gets passed into laws that affect other people in far away places!
You could certainly argue that certain politicians view it in our best interest to see Iran war-torn in shambles. This ignores the predominant school of thought by the Democrats now in power that it's better to have Iran as a stable trading partner and ally.
when you risk war with Iran you'll only be serving Israel's agenda but I fear the Iranians put their Jews near their nuclear plants or so I have read I am not sure if there is any truth to that, I'd wonder how they'd save them to Israel before that show down takes place.. now I don't expect you to know anything about sunnis or Muslims or minor nuances that affect politics, I don't think the Iranian agenda is all that noble or differs much from western agenda only from an opposite end of the spectrum, it is an unusual takes me back to the
Fatimid or Safavid dynasty "Safawiyyah'' a real dangerous path if they actually have power then the rest of us might be screwed indeed-- theirs is a third party element, I can't quite articulate into words.. they are not quite the hedonistic west, but they have their own brand of deviant and dangerous ideologies. Their lack of understanding of Islam allows them to do a great deal of harm and I fear push the sunnis who are a minority in their country to the Saudi border or God knows what else...
It's certainly not some abstract, objective truth that the United States would be in a better position if Iran and/or the middle east is war-torn. Reality doesn't work like that—the welfare of one nation isn't on a seesaw with the welfare of other nations on the other side.
Most people here have a very superficial understanding of politics no offense to you personally, but there is a real vested interest in keeping the middle east secular and divded followed by the entire Muslim world.. I don't know if the west quite understands what it means for a shiite state to come into power and move into other regions, it isn't as bad as a sunni one I'd think from their perspective given that the sunnis make up 85-90% of the Muslim world... being ruled by a majority Muslim rule would be a deadlier blow than a miniority one.
This I'll certainly agree with, and I hope Obama basically butts out of the Iranian election like he has been. Moussavi's people on Twitter have explicitly said that they hope we Americans shut up about it, so that their opponents can't accuse them of giving in to foreign manipulation.
one thing we can agree on indeed.. there is alot that needs to be fixed here, U.S can't afford to whittle itself away on another war for the sake of that zionist state. Of course you are a Jew you must have some loyalty even if you are an atheist at that, but religion plays a great part in this whether you like to admit it or not...
christian fundies think that if they hasten to the aid of the settler state a republican Jesus will descend on a silver cloud for a wonderful rapture.
Jews using the stupidity and funds of those fundies to hasten the coming of their Moschiach, even if they have a current secular state, it doesn't deter them from colonizing more displacing more from their home and excavating beneath al Aqsa, and the Iranian fellow wishes to establish some bizarre Shiite state, where he exterminates the only normal scholars left in favor of their deviant ideologies.
beam me up scotty!
