If I understand you right you have only spent the equivalent of 1 year of your life in Iran. So how did you become an expert in "all things Iran?"

I never claim to be an expert, I simply explaining my views gathered from my research, my experience, and my consultation with parents, friends, and family who have been directly involved in the conflicts in Iran over the past 3-5 decades

I also noticed you started out your thread trying to sound neutral and pro-western civilization. Then about 2/3's of the way into your thread you lash out, quote from you, "How many times do some of you idiots buy into this form of fear SO easily? Even if it's been proven you've been lied to in the past, and by the same people!". I also laugh when people say "No WMD's", Saddam not only had them he used them on Iran. Now if you want to go down the path that the USA gave them to him, then used that against him, well that's a different thread.

There is no evidence of him having WMD at any point in his rule. However he was provided with chemical weapons by the USA to use against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s which resulted in many civilian casualties in Iran. It has however been fully disclosed and documented that Sadam did not Posses WMD during the US invasion Iraq in the past decade. And sorry by "you idiots" I am solely referring to warmongers who are jumping on the identical WMD bandwagon used to start the war in Iraq. It was a lie and they were never found

I also totally disagree with your interpretation on the threat from Ahmadinejad. To vanish someone from the "page of time", to me means that you not only want them vanished physically but you want to rewrite history to remove them from ever existing.

First, you have to acknowledge that he was, and still is to this day, deliberately misrepresented in his statement. Second, his statement clearly implies that the imam wishes to see the regime occupying Jerusalem to vanish from the page of time. There is no reference to any map, citizens, land, or infrastructure residing in Israel it is solely the regime

Now we do agree on one thing. The Iranian citizens, at least all of them I have met are fantastic people.

Thank you

, I think there are fantastic people in all countries of this world

There is no way we should want to kill any of them. I also think if you took a poll most American would agree with that statement, I also agree that most Iranians don't believe death to Americans.

I absolutely agree, no one wants to see people killed in any sort of conflict. But unfortunately the same was said before the invasion of Iraq. They supposedly went to "free" the people and told everyone Sadam was the enemy, not the citizens... but there were over 1 million+ civilian casualties in this invasion.

However, it appears neither government wants to listen to the will of their people.

I absolutely agree... it is a widespread problem amongst all people on this planet, including Iran

I will believe you are not a troll when your thread provides fair representation of both sides of the issues you discuss. if the thread is, "Iran is perfect and all this hoopla and war mongering is just Israel and the West then I say, Government Paid Troll.

Iran is far from perfect, many people passionately despise the regime but we also fear another overthrow because of the potential of hijacking by western interests again
