Iranians..Tell me the truth?
606558
Look at it this way, before 1979 Iran was the most developed nation in the region, it had the highest standard of living and was a major importer of American goods and services. Being larger and having a much greater population than Kuwait, which at the time was not friendly with the U.S., it represented our staunchest ally in that part of the world. \n\nFast forward nearly 30 years since the revolution. Poverty, violence and international irresponsibility now wrack the country. The population has been decimated by a senseless, bloody war with Iraq and now what little government there is happens to be playing nuclear brinkmanship with the rest of the world. Things are bad.

Iran was a U.S. ally until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.  When they deposed the Shah of Iran and his wife from power we gave them sancuary in the U.S.  As a result students stormed the U.S. Embassy and held the entire staff 40 some people hostage for 444 days before releasing them.  We supported Saddam's Iraq in the war between Iran and Iraq that lasted for 7 years, however we did sell some arms to Iran during the Reagan Presidency thus causing the Iran -Contra Scandal.  The Iranian people have what is close to an Islamic state and are currently thumbing their nose at the worlds nations questions about their Nuclear Program. They are saying if the Nations insist on Arms Inspectors to be allowed access to what they are doing, then they will not allow them in and go full force into the project.  Their current President is also sponsoring a conference to discuss the myth that we call the Holocust.\n\n1) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian people have what they are calling a democracy, in which the people have very little say.\n\n2) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian government is led by those that are more than a few bricks shy of a full load.

I think Iranians are just those people who want Peace . but some countries like America and  his followers  can't sand Iran beside them.They say Iran wants to made nuclear Weapon while these countries themselves have these kinds of weapon and say Iran shouldn't have . but let me tell you not only Iran doesn't  have this kind of weapon but also our religion Islam doesn't let to kill others.\nLook ! Have you ever heard that Iran had attacked to any country\nmeanwhile <they don't let Iran to speak directly with other people all over the world. they sensor our leader's and precedent's speak. Think if they let Iran to speak directly to the peoples they themselves can judge who is the right and who is the wrong

WOW!! SMART MOVE BUDDY!! If someone tells their plan on this site which the Iranian government checks, their plan will not work, not because the government will know, but because they are so stupid to post it on the internet! But to answer you, yes there probebly is. By the US government, the Mojahedin e Khalgh, all opposition parties, and the young population of Iran.

who's said they don't allow un experts to inspect? UR medias?! Revise you thoughts please. They are based on completely wrong information. Iran is open to the UN. The problem is not professional. There are political problematics issues. \n\nThe problem is that West says Iranian programme is costly and it is not worth investing. They conclude that there might be some army goals beyon this. Iran warned months ago that if they deliver the case to SC, they would resume enrichment programme. Fist, the west announced that they just report and they don't totally deliver the case. They played with Iran a lot. Russia is just taking advantage and does nothing. Iran has lost very much interests and Iranians (People and goverment) aim to revenge anyways. We have paid price a lot for this case. Political and economical. We are under semi-sanction condition. Even no body plays with our soccor national team. I personally hate western governments and I swear I would try my best to revenge. Iranians are willing to support the government in this case and we would all die for our country. Iran will use our all potential forces such as Iraq and Lebanon and Palestine and Syria to oppose the west. As we Iranian say, we try to not let Iran be a simple gobbet for the west.

I don't know much about it except what's in the media. I know they're on Israel and the USA's sh*t list right now. I have heard that the Iranians are very educated people and for being a country in the middle east, Iran is pretty well to do. When I was about 12 years old I had a pen pal from Iran who wrote in perfect English and sent me beautiful postcards from there. The mail was always ripped open before it got delivered to me though like someone was checking it. I have nothing against the Iranian people or their country. My experience with the ones I met have been very pleasant.

News Max is excellent, also "The weekly Standard" magazine. Are you serious or are you joking? I hope so much Iran gets rid of their President and gets a leader that lets Iranians be free. I went all thru high school in the 60's with an Iranian boy named Sam and that was his prayer back then. I sure liked that boy and his family.

Vow Marianne, don't accept what people claim to be.\nThey announce that everyone who sign up for this Suiside Bombing show will get a raise on his paycheck and you can imagine how many people will sign up , they usually force some of Military people to join it and they happily accept it for few days off. They will march once and go back to their homes.\nA suiside bomber needs to be a little insane because of very bad circumstances, he needs to think he is doing it for God, freedom, his country and his family, this is possible for a Palestinian not an Iranian.\nHave you heard of any suiside bombing done by Iranians? You can check 9/11, Israel and Iraq suiside attacks and all the sources you have. Have you heard any Iranian in Al-Quada?\nEven religious Iranians don't like such acts, they rather to go Iraq as a pilgrim instead of terrorist.\nIranian has threatened Israel for 30 years,  no harm to Israel has done by Iran, I mean it is true that Iran supports some of Anti Israel groups a little but US has a Anti Iran budget, we can call it even.\nIran and Israel relationship is too complicated, many famous Jews are from Iran, Jews are really free in Iran(Like everywhere else they are in Business), they have same enemies(Arabs don't like Iranians too, they call Iranians Ajam which means shallow people and Iranians can't forget what Arabs did when they capture Iran just once), Farsi is a spoken language in Israel(this one is from wikipedia) and many other facts that I can't remember now.\nAnyways I can't understand why Pakistan who has supported Bin Laden and Taleban can have nukes and Iran can't use it for peaceful energy making, Iran and West will find a political solution for enrichment problem as soon as West come with a good offer, Iranians know that US can't invade Iran right now and UN will not support any attack on Iran(because of good relations with China and Russia) so they are playing a political game.\nI personally recommend you not be affraid of any of 52,000 Iranians suiside bombers, this is just a show.\nEdit: Ok, this Iraqi dude made me to give some facts that are not related to the subject at all and I don't like to discuss them here but there is no other choices.\n1. During a declared war and against military forces there  anything except chemical and nuclear weapons isn't prohibited, it is not a terrorist act against civilians, I don't know what you've heard about Iranian suiside bombers during Iran-Iraq war, there was some going into mine territory actions to open the road for others because Saddam had a taste for land mines.\nI think our government was absolutely right about liberating Iraq from Saddam, that is exactly  why US army is in Iraq now, we wanted to liberate you from a heinous dictator that use chemical weapon against you(Like Shalamche where thousands of Iraqi civilians died with Saddam chemical weapons) and some years next did a great massacre against Shiie people .\nOf course I'm with Israelis, that's not my problem, that's not my people problem, I don't care what they do to Arabs there, most of my people don't, Arabs problems are for their own, I have told before, its a tradition for Iranians to say wipe out Israel, nothing has done and will be done. Of course Iran has missles which can reach Israel, it is not a secret, Iran has tested them and US has seen the test, I have told here, these weapons have political uses not military ones, Iranians don't want a war, Iran president knows it.\nAbout our people, we are a multi race country, Arabs are those who you know about, we have Kurds, Lors, Torks, bakhtiari, Afghans, Armani, Ashuri(these are remains of the ancient civilization of Ashur and they are christians) and other races that I can't remember now, there isn't any problem within us, I haven't heard of any racial violence.\nYou have named Ahwas, I am Half Khuzestani, of course from a special tribe there who are no

we will never know.  the iranian government is one of many (too many) that pretty much says what its citizens will believe.  they have no alternative.  oh there is the occasional protest, but nothing like what we enjoy in america (i am assuming that you are in america too).  So even if they do not agree with their president, they have no real opportunity to do anything about it.\n\nps- i'm sorry, i just read the part about you only wanting opinions from iranians.  hope it's ok if i just leave this here...

Sala'm Aga / Khanum!\n\nDo you want to imply that Iran's case is similar to that of the Iraq during last days of Saddam when he was denying having any WMD and USA was insisting that he was lying?\n\nIn any case, there is a great difference in the analogy. Iran has been more-or-less positively identified by the IAEA to be moving towards a secret nuclear weapons program, as per circumstantial evidences its inspectors and 'monitors' has obtained.\n\nSo, in my personal view, the President of Iran Mr. Ahmedinezad is playing high-wire act and also brinkmanship with the West (not only with USA). I am a Muslim and I worked in Iranian Air Force for two years as civilian specialist and I have no ill feeling for the Iranian people.\n\nGod forbid, if Iranian people had to live the miserable life that of Iraq then it would be solely the present government of Iran that would be held responsible to ignore numerous warnings to refrain from its present belligerent attitude and sit with world community and sort out its differences across the table.\n\nInshaAllah we hope major catastrophe could be averted and Iranians can live and prosper and be the Malaysia of the Middle East!\n\nKhuda Hafez
