Iranians rally to mark revolution

Why that? Are you subconsciously feeling guilty for all the damage your country has done to Iran?

i leave iran alone for a good 6 months and i knew, knew without a doubt, that good ol vierotchka would comment on that. thanks for keeping up the standards around here.

not guilty, sad, that we haven't done more.

Ah, so you wish the USA had done more damage to Iran than it has done? You wish the USA had managed to steal ALL of Iran's oil?

basically.

and no i have no compassion for a country that has repeatedly said it wants to kill me.

sure thing, mr. bush, let's just keep up those practices that have been working so well. fucking idiot

Iranians say that, diode, because your country has been killing and exploiting and causing great damage to Iran for many decades. Had a country done to yours what your country has done to Iran, you'd be saying the same thing about that country.

last reply to this.

we haven't done crap to iran. compared to other countries anyways. they can't get over our few encounters then too bad. don't sell us oil. don't buy any of our goods. keep terrorists out of your country. just keep ignoring the UN like everybody else who isn't a superpower. keep antagonizing the world. see what it gets you.

My how ignorant you are, diode - is it willful or is it a result of extremely poor education?

"we haven't done crap to iran."

I recommend you look up Operation Ajax, cause ignorance this deep is pathetic.

i know of op ajax, we did that in the early 50's. are you still pissed at germany for what they did in the 40's? get over it. and they took their country back

not only that but you quoted me out of context without putting in the rest of that sentence...so please, nit pick on something else

Wow, comparing a foreign-sponsored coup to near-global total war. That's just lazy analogy. And “nitpicking?” My apologies, but I had to comment on such an absolutist statement. Good to know you are aware of Operation Ajax, unfortunately it's just the beginning. Most would view encouraging ethnic tension and international sanctions (not to mention, threatening to bomb) as interference.

Sepia346 (above) says this picture is from 1978, not today and they give the reason why they know this.

I doubt, when the media shows us pictures of protests in the streets, that it's 10s of thousands. Perhaps 10s of hundreds.
Many Iranians are very dissatisfied with their government, as they have a very high unemployment rate and high inflation.

As to why they chant...probably for the reasons you stated.

America?

Iran has neither plans nor the ambition to conquer Israel.

well you must meet some fucking tard soldiers then buddy!all the soldiers i know dred war...war seperates you from what you really love...so yea you should join the war when it happens tho cuz ya sound like a one of those pussy's who just wants to sit back and watch his brothers at arms die...fucking fag!

how can you tell? I was watching the news and they still have the same style of dress. As for the picture of the Ayatolla that is common to have at their demonstrations.

Thanks for the schooling. Its nice to learn something new everyday.

Sound the bell, sepia's ready to educate you fools.

Wait. Stop. What "kissing ass??" The ONLY way to get anything done with two people, two countries, etc. etc. without rushing to war, is TALK. Why is this so difficult for you all's to conceive? Are you a parent? yes? ok, look at it like this: Your child is angry, because he is tired, can't poop or is hungry. He is screaming and yelling and pulling our the hair of his older sister. What will you do? If you were a good parent you would remove him from the situation calmly first, let him shake about, ignore it for a bit and then try to talk to him about his behavior and why it is wrong. You would not smack him across the face and in so doing accidentally smack your innocent daughter as well. You would keep CALM. Work with me please on your reasoning. God this is exhausting.

We cant compare Iran to a child. Their leader is insane and wants the complete destruction of Israel, not to mention the fact he dosen't believe the Holocaust happened. Yes, we do need to negotiate but we shouldnt bend over backwards to give them a warm and fuzzy feeling when they absolutely hate the United States and everything it stands for.

"Complete destruction of Israel" is a myth created by media here. He is not sane, that is true, but he never said that. "Complete destruction of Israel" is a wrong out-of-context translation of what he said.

i hope the US does end up in talks with Iran. Certainly there should be mutual respect.. considering the arrogance that was played out by US and British operatives back in the 50's you would expect them to demand open apologies so a simple request for mutual respect is very encouraging. The US would never admit to any wrong doing of course. It's just business

Yeah because Iranians aren't people, they can't possibly be capable of change. What makes Iran so special, maybe because US has tried to kill them twice, through Iraq and now through Israel.
