I agree with you in that all governments should rule in a secular fashion, but that's not our culture. They are an Islamic state and there's nothing
we can or should do about that. We should respect their belief and let the natural social evolution happen, just as it happened in the United States.
Only in the last 30 years have we seen a considerable decrease in racism, and not long ago we were lynching blacks and killing homosexuals at will.
When America was facing it's segregation issues, did France spread nation wide propaganda that we were primitive bigots, running around lynching
colored people on the spot, and how we would do the same in their country? No, they didn't. They let us work out our own kinks. Being as Iran is the
most democratic nation in the Middle East, even over our ally Israel, we're still throwing around "civil rights" and even "human rights
violations." While our ally is firing high explosive rounds at Palestinians waving at tanks, getting it's attention for a cameraman in a full
"press TV" uniform.
Iran is the boogey man because they are interfering with special interests. They have a hand in oil and are getting a little too close and too
powerful for our "friends" to bear. We're screaming for rights for homosexuals in Iran, when they don't have full freedoms here. Pot calling the
kettle black as usual with American foreign policy. They're not innocent, but they don't deserve the constant threat of attack and military
posturing from the U.S. or Israel.
The whole beef with Iran irks me because it's so unfounded and unjust. I know when I'm being lied to, I know when people are trying to manipulate me
and I refuse for a second to be involved or support any more of my own country's falsehoods. I just want to hang out, work hard, make a good living,
finish school, make my family proud, and support them the best I can. I don't want to feel like I have to take sides in another Military conflict or
that enemies are trying to blow my freedoms up with suicide bombs. I can see through the bull#, and if it concerns blowing up more innocent people up,
I know in my heart that I do not have to support or help people blow another peoples up.
American life is not about waring! It's not about constantly having enemies! It has nothing to do with being in constant fear of something,
somewhere, doing something that is going to effect my life. I've had enough.
America represents freedom. I will be free. I will live free. I will respect all. I will not fear. I will not fear your lies.
F*** YOUR AGENDAS, YOUR BIAS VIEWS, AND YOUR TEAM LIKE POLITICS.
