As for the Internet.......
n preparation for the March 2012 elections, the Iran government is instituting strict rules on cybercafes and preparing to launch a national internet.[8] It also requires all Iranians to register their web sites with the Ministry of art and culture.[9]
Internet censorship in Iran
I find it hard to believe, that those claiming they are from Iran and are ATS members have the same freedoms to say what they want here, especially since you have to register Web Sites, with the Ministry of Art and Culture. ATS is full of Western Ideals, typical of the very websites, Iran would not want the average person on, or subscribing to.
Its a shame we cant have more dialog with true Iranians, to see what they think is best for all sides involved.

I've never seen any PEACE talks as a problem!
I've always had issues with the one way regurgitation of BS from EITHER side!

They can also connect to ATS, or any other international website, the same way, bypassing the Iranian internal network. I've no doubt the Iranian government uses that to their own advantage upon occasion as well, but you take the bad with the good in order to make sure the good has a way clear.

Heres a bit of news, that I find puzzling. Russia has been a staunch supporter of Iran, especially when it comes to supplying them, with Arms.
Why would they not give these to Iran, if they have been so pro-Iranian ?
What does Russia know?
A long-simmering but little-publicised dispute is heating up between Iran and Russia over Moscow's refusal to supply Tehran with sophisticated missiles that would complicate any Israeli or US attempt to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
Iran resents that Russia, a nominal ally, pulled the plug two years ago on an US$800 million (Dh2.93 billion) deal to deliver five S-300 air defence systems, which can detect and destroy missiles and low-flying aircraft.
The row escalated last week when a Russian official warned that Moscow would take a tougher stand against Iran's nuclear programme unless Tehran withdraws the lawsuit.

Press TV - In its quest for an advanced air defense system, Iran has reportedly shifted its hopes from Russia to China which owns a replica of the controversial Russian S-300.
As Iran's quest for the advanced Russian-made S-300 air defense system is believed to have hit rock bottom, a report by RIA Novosti said Tehran is eying a Chinese-made HQ-9 surface-to-air missile under the name FD-2000 -- recently put on the export market.

The Fars news agency said Wednesday that Iran has obtained two missiles from Belarus and two others from another unspecified source.
Russia signed a contract in 2007 to sell the missiles to Iran but said in June that new UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran prevent delivery. The sale would have substantially boosted the country's defense capacities, raising Israeli fears it would tip the military balance in the Middle East.
According to Muslim doctrine we are infidels and should be killed so what are our options ? Bow down and all become Muslim ? Wait until they have infiltrated all of western society and be killed off ? Wipe out all Muslim countries ? I would really like to know ?

I wonder bout some's understanding of history?
The US supported Egypt [Financially] for decades. Peace prevailed. Then the US was accused of only supporting dictators [Egypt was an example given at the time]
Then the US cut funding to the Egyptian "dictator" now, we support terrorists.
So meh....

I still think War can be avoided, if the People of Iran, and Israel woke up.
Enough is Enough.
I can dream, cant I?
