what do you think about iran?

Iran is a fine country.  But the people that run it need to be taken out in the street and shot.  And if that doesn't help it, then nuke it and turn it into a wasteland.

iran has a very long history, it is part of humankind history. at one time, they were the most powerful nation in the civilized world. they contributed much to science and art and have a very refined culture. \n\ni have known iranians, and i found them very intelligent and respectful\n\nthe problem now is that everyone is against them right now, which makes matters worse. they feel threatned and react angrily. how would you feel if everyone critizes you?\n\ni think iran should be integrated into the international community. they should open their doors and other countries should open their doors. iranians should see what is life outside iran, and other people should visit iran to see what it is like there.\n\nconcerning recent events, i think it is their legitimate rights to get nuclear technology. a lot of countries have also nuclear technology. it is not fair if you forbide them. it would make sense if france, usa, uk or russia stop using nuclear technology. but they continue using it and forbid everyone else to have it. what kind of attitude is that?\n\npeople worry that iran might produce nuclear bombs. but they are not the first one to get nuclear bombs. i think every country should ban nuclear bombs.

First let me state that I am somewhat weary aboout nuclear power as an enrgy source because it is a technology in its infancy and a mistake creates chernobyls. As far as Iran, it is tough to say that some can have nuclear power and others can't. It's tougher to see who decides that and how it would be enforced. Also, what is Iran? By that i mean who has the reigns over the nuclear power. Like when someone says the USA, do they mean the 300 million people who live here and are generally good people or does it mean bush, cheney and rumsfeld who seem so loaded with personal agendas that they no longer care whether you know they are lying or not so long as enough people follow along or at least give the impression that people are follwing along.

well i really like iran, as wz there for 6 years, iran is a beatiful country and its people are really nice and helping. if you are seeking answer from political point of view then i must say that probably it is the country that might cause 3rd world war...as it is not iraq, which wz unstable country....iran is  strong country will cause 3rd world war... and frankly speaking if iran has nuclear power so do america and all other european countries have....so why not they first close their nuclear plan and then come to iran....ps:iran donot have mother bomb!

God! To most of those answers so far, you guys have been so brainwashed by your media. To anyone that thinks Tehran should be nuked, think on this, your very attitude gives those in Iran who may or may not hate you, the very reason to attack you.  \n\nWe all have to live on this rock called earth together, your idiotic xenophobic remarks are NOT helping a very delicate situation.\n\nWould you like to be nuked? because if the USA did Nuke Tehran, there WILL be a response in kind from Russia and China!\n\nYou are calling for your own destruction, by wishing a nuclear attack on Iran. it would be a world wide cataclysmic all out nuclear war. You would not win that because nobody would win it.\n\nIran is NOT afghanistan or Iraq. They have not broken any international laws, they are LESS of a threat to the international community than the USA who is rapidly becoming a rogue state, illegally developing masses of WMD, Biological chemical and new nuclear weaponry  and your leadership has maintained a right to use this internationally banned weaponry against anybody they choose.\n\nThe fact that your country poses a much greater threat to the peace and stability of Iran, than they do to you means that they have a right for the international community to defend them, and yet YOU want THEM to be attacked? how the hell do you think they feel? they ARE threatened, unlike you. and you want to lash out???? You are fuckwits if you truly want them nuked.\n\nThey should not develop nuclear weaponry and they constantly claim that they have no itention to do so. I don't know whether to believe them, but what I do know is this, they do have a legal right top develop a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have a right to produce their own nuclear fuel. \n\nWhat I also know, is if they where to ever develop a nuclear weapon to be used against Israel or any ally of the USA, we all know, Especcially the leadership in Tehran, that Tehran would be turned into green glass.\n\nSo why would they do it? They could never destroy the US as a whole, but the US could Destroy Iran, many times over.\n\nLeave the international diplomats to try and sort this out in a peaceful manner. the alternative does not bear thinking about.

Iran is a theocracy. Their religious leaders are also their political leaders. Although the people themselves are very westerniazed, their leaders are not which leads to a lot of discontent within the people. They are about 10 years away from having a working nuclear program, but are a nuclear threat. Don't know what else you want to know without you asking specifics, but that was some random stuff.

Here's a conversation I had with an Iranian yesterday:\n\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:22:40 PM): hi\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:23:12 PM): i want to talk to you about the question you asked\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:23:28 PM): Sure\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:24:04 PM): which question?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:24:35 PM): The question about supporting military action against Iran\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:24:39 PM): OK\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:24:45 PM): What do you know about Iran?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:24:59 PM): And about persian people?\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:25:15 PM): I know that the Iranian President wants a war with the United States\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:25:51 PM): so it should cause milions of people and children to die?\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:26:11 PM): What, war with the US?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:26:23 PM): Yes\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:26:46 PM): The war which hasn't started, and in not going to start\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:27:05 PM): No, I don't believe that. I believe the Iranian government is trying to push the US into a war to prove some kind of point\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:28:04 PM): I don't think Iran's people agree with it, nor do they want a war, when Iran threatens the US or US allies with missile strikes or threatens to take a country out, that is pretty much a call to war\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:28:32 PM): OK\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:28:44 PM): So you mean you support it, right?\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:29:06 PM): But, think about this, if someone had a gun and threatened to shoot you, what would you do in reaction?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:29:47 PM): If i knew that the gun isn't real and it cant never hurt me, i wouldn't take a serious reaction\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:30:05 PM): I don't know that I do support it, but I can sympathize with people who are threatened militarily. It doesn't mean I want war, it just means I understand why they feel that way\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:30:26 PM): So what about us?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:30:33 PM): What about OUR feelings?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:30:42 PM): No one cares about them\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:31:39 PM): I feel that you are not in disagreement with your government leaders, however I do care about the millions of people caught in the middle, such as yourself. You don't want war any more than our people\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:32:07 PM): I don't disagree with the government?!!!\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:32:24 PM): No one agrees with them\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:32:35 PM): I don't think it will even become a physical war, just a war of words... like two men who flex their mustles to try to prove who's stronger\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:33:21 PM): So you agree that it's okay to say that your government will wipe a country out of existence?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:33:28 PM): I think it's pretty obvious that who's stronger, there's no need to war\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:33:57 PM): They can't do that ! They can't\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:34:39 PM): I don't care about them, you can send them to the hell, so that we can breathe easy\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:34:47 PM): But i'm worried about the people, children, lovers, memories\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:35:49 PM): They're deciding on their own, there's no one who supports or agrees with them\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:36:05 PM): Same here, that's why I don't understand why Iran would want to threaten powerful nations like Israel and the US\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:36:11 PM): Except some stupid people like themselves\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:36:27 PM): Iran doesn't want this\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:36:46 PM): Ahmadi nejad wants so\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:36:54 PM): Neither does the US. I think the only ones that want it are the news media because it means ratings\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:37:48 PM): So what about the people? When are they gonna decide about their own future?\nabcormi (4/15/2006 4:38:09 PM): who? your people? our people?\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:38:30 PM): our people\nParnian (4/15/2006 4:38:54 PM): Yo

As an Iranian, I should say you "Ahmadi Nejad"s speeches and letters are a bunch of his strange ideas, not all of the Iranian ideas.\n\nHere we don't concern to his strange speeches. I suggest you don't worry about Iran's activities in base on "Ahmadi Nejad" speeches and letters ;)\n\nIran and US had some dialogs but some US policies like invading to Iraq and Afghanistan and occupying those countries made this situation worse.\n\nIran's government is worry about US policy and its goals, so someone like "Ahmadi Nejad" succeeded in last presidency election.

I do. Iran has a lot of historical site. I`d love too see those. And with their nuclear issue right now, that is a plus for them

I've been there several times. Its an interesting place with loads of history, lovely scenery and pleasant, friendly people. \n\nRight now I wish those pleasant and friendly people would start questioning whether they are being well led. It would be a tragedy for a country with the legacy of Persia to become the next tragic victim of the World's bully, George Bush. But that's the way you're going and it is going to be very nasty. \n\nPlease, do what you can to make your own leaders act a little more reasonably! This has to be a two-way thing.

My husband is in the military, and his platoon is most likely to be one of the first ones in Iran. \nPersonally, I'm a little tired of fixing everyone else's problems and forgetting about our own. \n\nAmerica reminds me of a head strong teenager, trying to take everyone on at once and always thinking they are right no matter what, but that is just my opinion.
