The GOP does take away a lot of US freedoms but it's not even close to as bad as what happens with the Mullahs in Iran.  Could it get as bad as Iran?  I hope not but you never know.

The biggest factor is the meddling by the US in political and social affairs in the ME.  Most of this came from our incessant need to control nations that have OIL.  We need oil and will do anything to get it.\nWe overthrew and then had killed the Iranian leader Mossadegh and put the Shah in his place.  The Shah was a puppet of the US govt.  THAT is why Iran hates us.\nHowever, the next biggest factor is our unreasoning support of Israel, who was given Arab land and was forced on its neighbors in 1947. Arab leaders warned us about this but Truman ignored them, saying "Arabs don't vote.  jews vote."\nHe forgot about oil.  Oil in 1947 was $2 a barrel....

It is term used by Iran and its leaders about the USA.  Are we the "Great Satan"?  Yes according to Iran.  No if you ask anyone here in the USA.\n\nBush has called Iran, part of the Axis of Evil.  Same kind of thing.  We want our people to know they are bad.  And they do the same thing for their people.

Because the US of A is scared. Scared of Iran forming more allies and inspiring other countries to follow. The US of A wants to stay on top and oppress others like always.

Military - India has a larger military but Iran probably has more weapons from the black market. India as a nuclear weapon while Iran is trying to develop nuclear capabitlities. Iran is probably more prepared for war than India and will have more domestic support for war given its most recent history. \n\nEconomy - India has a larger economy with a strong base due to the population and much brighter potential to be a top 3 in 20 years riding on the back of IT. Iran has 15% of the wold's oil but no domestic industry. \n\nGlobal Influence - Iran has more global influence than India. Given its current course in nuclear development, it is more likely to sway power in the region than India. Having said that, India is the leading outsource provider in the world and any dent in its capability would have a significant impact on the global economy.

This question is nearly impossible to answer.  If you were born in Iran, your 'input' would be so completely different from the way it is here..you would be 'taught' what to think of America just as we are 'taught' what to think of Iran.  If you were born in Iran, you could not possibly have the same brain [meaning thoughts and beliefs] as you do now.  The situations, experiences and everyday 'teaching' are so completely different.  We would like to THINK that we would like American EVEN if we were born elsewhere, but propoganda being what it is, that is highly unlikely.  We are fed so much info on other countries, much of which is not actually true, just as other countries have a distorted and false view of the reality of America.  The only way for any of us to know the true essence of another country..as best we can.. is to live there, in their shoes and in their lives.. but we can never TRULY know.. because we weren't born into their lives.. into their beliefs and into the things they have been told and taught from birth.

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.

North Korea poses the greater threat to the United States because they already have WMDs and the missiles to launch them.  Iran's ability and willingness to attack the United States, on the other hand, is non-existent at present.

i think that the average American does not have a problem with Iranian people. The government however has a bad history. I think its best for the entire world if they left nuclear evolution alone.......

Iran is rebellious and cool. Iraq is a war zone and Israel is sadly in trouble. They are not the same country! Iraq are arabs, Israel jews and Iran muslim and persian.

Iran has right to have the nulcear power if us, and other countries have. There is possibility of use of nuclear power against any country from the other countreis too.

Americans are taught a very narrow bit of information about the world.  Before the war, how many people knew the difference between Iraq and Iran?

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.

Iran has free education.  You would have to get a student visa from your government, if your a girl have a male relative sign to allow you to leave the country, be accepted at the university you wished to attend by meeting their entrance requirements and any international constraints, observe and respect the american customs of free speech and tolerance while you are here, and have a way to not only pay for your education but for you living needs.\n\nThat's pretty much all.  Piece of cake?  Now think it through.
