I have a few friends that are Iranian, listening to them speak of their homeland makes you want to go there and check it out. What every one of them has in common is their dislike and distrust of their leader, and they say at home nobody likes him there either. Like it or not, the sanctions may actually encourage the citizens to throw the bum out.
Lies. I have friends from their, friends from Pakistan who I work with too, They didn't say this. Interesting Iran is a soverign country. It's relatively peaceful too. Don't know who told you, I'm sure your just using propaganda

No actually its you who is preaching the BS MindisUniverse, if you knew that many Iranians then you would know of the wide abhoration they have of their government!
Don't confuse Irans peaceful history with the mindset of the current theocratic regime there that in only 30 years has been involved in an 8 year war, the sponsoring of terrorist activities throughout the middle east and even as far as Argentina, destabalisation in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq that has cost thousands and thousands of lives. You need to open your eyes and relenquish that leftist blind agenda.

I have been following your posts with some amusement - especially your proposition as to whether or not someone considered themselves to be intellectually superior. I can assure you I do feel that way.

Does this mean that China is making allegations that there HAS been a use of force against Iran, other than economic sanctions? If this is the case, I would like them to make their evidence available as I would be interested to read about this.

I just showed your post to Sarvnaz, one of my Iranian friends, (there are 2 others I work with, the car business is loaded with them) she started laughing, called you an idiot and walked away. I said "no wait wait wait write a response". She said in a very heavy iranian accent, "I'm not going to respond to that ignorant pig".

Thank you, I may not be as well versed on the Iranian regime as some, but having friends (co-workers) who share their experiences gives one a better understanding than just relying on what is reported in the press.
Like most "fat capitalist american pigs" I don't get my head out of my own world that often. My friends showed me some photos of a ski resort in Iran and I was blown away, I had no idea it was that beautiful there. Culturally speaking, they have opened my eyes to some really cool stuff. I puffed on a huka (?) for the first time a couple weeks back when one of them had a going away BBQ (he decided to go to Dubai for a year and hang out with his brother).
If most people in Iran are like my friends, the last thing any of them would want is more conflict, they have enough. I kind of agree.
Yes it's shocking you didn't know that the ME is a beautiful region, guess you really are brainwashed. Your response and reaction is alarming in itself. Oh the T.V is your reality

Glad you realise that. Now come to the realisation, what the hell your nation "America" is doing right now that is not acceptable... wanting to bomb the country - Iran -. Your friends could die for this the Iranian people!. I hope you won't blind this probable fact.

That is just your opinion. I mean your government is far worse FACT. See I can see clearly your using propaganda here, Blatantly. Your government, the "AMERICAN GOVERNMENT" is the most "EVIL" there is in this world. Responsible indirectly or directly to the unstability in the ME for the last 50 years. Now in the last 8 years, we have seen nothing but your nation "AMERICA" bombing the # out of it. (Iraq is the victim at the minute)
Rooster - Yea Iran is a fantastic country, great people, beautiful landscape etc just a horrible government and i mean horrible.
China and Russia are not blocking anything. Stop with the nonsense. They are trading with Iran properly and talking diplomatically.
I do agree force is not an option with Iran, but with the Russians and Chinese blocking any diplomatic way to solve the crisis it is becoming ever more difficult.
Why would you want to cripple the economy.
The only way to do this seems to be to cripple the Iranian economy as much as possible as to bring about a public rise against the government. With a secular government Iranians will be granted the trust necessary for a nuclear program, as western governments helped the Shah.
