Why does Iran mock the USA so?
484599
Iran has successfully out-manouvred the US at every stage of this developing crisis. They've done so through skillful diplomacy, using rhetoric aimed more at their allies than at the West, thus building a huge Worldwide backing, not out of support for Iran, but out of common hatred for the bully boy tactics of Bush America. \n\nAmerica has no answer to the Iranians because it understands  only one response to its belligerence. America expects States to roll over and surrender to its might. When this doesn't happen America can't cope. Iran knows this and is having enormous fun making America look ridiculous. Its all a game and America is losing every move.\n\nIran also knows America is not a serious military threat. America would be taken apart if it tried to take on Iran because the whole Islamic World would be aligned with Iran in a flash. So what does America have to do? It can do only one thing: Start treating Iran with respect and negotiate a settlement as a partner in this little World instead of acting the bully boy.

Because core influential people in USA happen to be Jews! They probably play a crucial role in USA's economy and politics (leave alone Hollywood). Iran wants to touch the raw nerve by threatening to hit Israel which will deeply upset the influential/monied American Jews.

http://www.antiwar.com/paul/?articleid=8821\n\nOne of the best summations of why the U.S. is concerned about Iran.\n\nTo correct a few skewed facts above, Iran is no more a rogue state than Israel, Iran is independent, a member of the U.N. , and has a democratically elected government. If you actually had read a history book or two, you would also know that the entire reason why the American hostages were held is because the U.S. had given asylum to the dictatorial monarch that they had imposed on Iran in 1953, the shah Pahlavi, and refused to send him back to be put on trial for numerous crimes against his own citizens. As soon as he died, they decided to release the hostages, when they could have just as easily held them for other demands such as weapons, money, or supplies. But they didn't. They wanted justice. Iran is nowhere near being able to even produce enough enriched uranium to create a bomb, let alone a reactor. The president of Iran is no more a fanatical They are not in violation of the non-proliferation treaty or IAEA regulations. Do a little research rather than flipping on the news and you might realize this. Now if you are going to argue that we need to prevent nuclear proliferation, I'm all for it, however, Iran is not the place to start. Right now Pakistan, India, North Korea, and Israel all have nuclear weapons yet somehow that is not as big of a deal? Iran is  the world's second largest producer of oil and gas, but of course, no, that couldn't have anything to do with it, even though our oil companies have recorded record-breaking profits over the last few years. Well what about freedom and democracy for all the poor Iranians? Bullshit. Like before, Iran's government is democratically elected and run by the people, that is not just an opinion, it is a fact you can look up in any reference source.  Claims of how Iranians live without freedom are made by people who have never been there. I have traveled all over the world and have been to Iran six times. I can honestly say that I have never felt as safe in the U.S. as I have in Iran. You can literally feel free walk around in the middle of the night in Tehran without fear of being mugged, attacked, or be a victim of any other stupid crime happens here much more often. Iran is not at fault here, we are.\n\nIn addition on the claim of Israel's undeniable right to exist, you might find this letter by Ghandi interesting:\n\n"Several letters have been received by me asking me to declare my views about the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany. It is not without hesitation that I venture to offer my views on this very difficult question.\n\nMy sympathies are all with the Jews. I have known them intimately in South Africa. Some of them became life-long companions. Through these friends I came to learn much of their age-long persecution. They have been the untouchables of Christianity. The parallel between their treatment by Christians and the treatment of untouchables by Hindus is very close. Religious sanction has been invoked in both cases for the justification of the inhuman treatment meted out to them. Apart from the friendships, therefore, there is the more common universal reason for my sympathy for the Jews.\n\nBut my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?\n\nPalestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but th

Are you serious? Iran's current president SAID he wants to destroy the US and ISRAEL!!!  Why does he need a nuclear power plant when his country is soaked in oil???

Look Iran hates the USA have you ever heard of the Iranian Revolution when Iran took all thoses American Hostages ? USA froze all Iranian Assets, Iran uses its hatred of the USA to try and Unite its people, although of late the young people don't seem to like that attitude that is why the hardliners regained power, The Iranian President is chosen  by the Religious Leaders to run in the election. It would not surprise me if Iran Nuked Los Angeles

Despite the Anti-American rhetoric from Iran, it doesn't really want to have any major confrontation with the US, especially on a head-to-head basis, as militarily it is far weaker than the US.\n\nIn addition, the US has no real desire at present to send troops into Iran either (it's bad enough fighting battles in both Afghanistan and Iraq without fighting Iran also, since the best combat divisions are already tied up).\n\nIran is well aware that "attacking the US" would provoke a swift and powerful military response in the form of bombings and ship-launched missiles against strategic military targets in Iran, in order to prevent further Iranian attacks. The US would also ensure that Iranian nuclear facilities were well "bombed".\n\nThere would be no need for troops on the ground as the US wouldn't be seeking to invade, merely to punish.\n\nIn some ways an attack on a US ship by Iran would give the US an excuse to attack Iran and halt any nuclear intentions it had for the foreseeable future. \n\nHowever, Iran is not a "helpless kitten".\n\nWhen the USS Vincennes accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger plane, believing it to be a hostile jet, Iran vowed revenge - whatever it took.\n\nLess that 6th months later Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie killing all 270 people on board + 11 townsfolk who were subsequently hit by the falling debris.\n\nAlthough Colonel Gadaffi, who the the favorite whipping boy of the US was blamed, many intelligence agencies outside the US blamed Iran for funding the terrorists and proving the detonators.\n\nThe timing device used on the bomb was found to be similar to a batch sold to Iran 3 months earlier. 3 weeks before the bombing, West German police successful arrested several Arab terrorists who were plotting "to blow up a US plane". Two of the terrorists (now serving 20 years each in a German prison) admitted that Irananian Intelligence had supplied them with money, training and detonators.\n\nSo perhaps the real question is whether the US will cause a confrontation, either deliberably or accidentally with Iran, and how Iran, rather than the US, will react. \n\nMy guess would be a 6 or 7 suicide bombers in Times Square, Wall Street, near the Whitehouse, etc. There is a hell of a lot of "wannabe martyrs" in Iran, but they lack both the training and the funding. Iran can provide both.

Because Iran is a country full of nuts and loose cannon's. Any psycho nuts that can twist the beautiful writings of Allah  to mean lets murder everyone, who is not like us ,or does not share our beliefs, do not deserve the trust of responsibility of Nuclear power. In other words, they can not be trusted, to do the right thing.  For those in U.S. that do not get it, it would be as if all the Baptist wanted all the Catholics dead, who wanted the the, Lutherans dead, who wanted they Methodist dead,  etc etc etc....for no other reason than being different..so much killing that the people   do not remember the reasons, it is tit for tat,   it is as stupid a concept as your question.

It's a bunch of bull.  Any country who so despises the free world as Iran does should be stopped from possessing nuclear power/technology at all costs.

the usa gave him the wepons to kill iranians . iran had a demcractaly elected leader in the fiftys who was very populr but he wanted to nationalise it oil so the americans sent the cia over to sort him out then they put a puppet called the shah in power the people of iran revolted against him and a guy called ayatulla homeni came in to power he critised america for what it done in its country. the americans didnt like that so they gave saddam all the wepones he wanted so he can kill all the iranians for the americans.(and the iranians still want to be friends with the usa after all that) but the usa dont want to be friends they just want control over the oil because the world is at peak oil supply now.and who ever has control over oil wll have all the power .\n\nand the uk and the usa are still supporting dictators and tortures in central asia thats where all the oil is now but afganistan was the only thing standing in its way but now that has been sorted out . why do you think the ussr was fighting over a land that has nothing but mountains and heroin? .so they can lay a pipe line to the sea .in some of countrys in central asia the goverments are blatently killing its opposion politicans and human rights actavists . i live in the uk and a lot of people are showing evidence of this to our goverment but they are brushing it aside just like they did with saddam. even the british ambasodor to uzbekistan coplaind to the uk goverment about the torture he was told to shut up and got trandferred to a nother embassy. as long as you are freindly with the usa then you can do this. and they will give you all the wepons you need to do there dirty work.

because Israel is our ally and Iran is not.  it's all about hypocrisy.

I don't understand. US suggests they want to attack Israel. But Iran has already tons of WMD's and an outstanding army (nothing to do with the Taliban Afghanistan, or the isolated Sadam), besides the great power of being the fourth reserve of oil, and the economic power it represents.  \nIran says they want nuclear power, to be a developed country. But it's not necessary to have nuclear power to develop. Many European countries or the neighbour Arab Emirats, are more than developed wihtout nuclear power. \n\nA military strike would be the worse option. If they want to have nuclear power or even nukes, they should, like many other countries, even with dictators do. Only because they don't have a good relationship with Israel or US, it shouldn't be banned. \nIf in 10 years they dare to attack someone with nukes, they will be easily smashed back. \nI mean they might be extremists, but they're not suicides.

Well, I don't know much but I do know that in Iran they start the school day by chanting "Down with America" and stomping on the american flag. Since they hate Isreal even more I can't imagine what they are taught about them.
560662
My god what are they teaching in the schools these days. Some one said so what we have em, Israel has em..... \n Are you that stupid. If we let Iran have them, then they will end up on your lap one day when you go to eat dinner. That dude is a Nut ball and has already said that his plans is to take Israel off the map. After he takes out Israel where do you think he would attack next? Yes that's right, right here in the USA. Think its to big of a job for him. Well maybe, only because we already took out Iraq(which you probably was against as well)and The Taliban. Good grief what is wrong with you people, Don't you know what a Nuke is. There are to many in the world already and if we let anyone else have them then its that much more of a threat. Especially some mental case. Go USA. I still live here. If you don't like it then move over with them. Be decent for once, Support your president and your country. I still love this place. You should to.
