Most Iranians Iv met say the American media feeds you a bunch of bullshit. I worked with a guy before who said he pitied yous for hating him especially with yous being kept so in the dark about the truth.
Betcha if you finally just leave Iran alone it'd be a successful country with no interest in attacking anyone.
Just outta interest tho...when was the last time Iran attacked anyone?
hmmm last time iran actually attacked anybody themselves was 1988 in their scuffle over "who be more crazy" with saddam hussein. it was a tie.
usually iran (who has military forces, infrastructure, oil feilds, and cities clearly marked on maps, which means they got something to lose!!) prefers to pull the strings and help their proxies do the attacking of world powers who dont play the proportionality game when you step across the line.
the last century's last half was dominated by overbearing referees and whiney rules lawyering by the coaches on all sides.the UN has maintained a staunch and unshakeable belief that STABILITY is the only virtue, and war is the last and always unacceptable resort to "conflict resolution". under the UN rules and post-modern reverence for "understanding" the secret aggressor can sit in the back seat and irritate you for hours using every trick at their disposal to try and make you hit them. cuz then YOURE the aggressor! like a long car ride with an immature little brother
iran LOVES to stare at the US and israel. just stare, for hours.
pick boogers out and let them cling wetly to their fingertip and slowly push that finger closer and closer to us.
stuff a shitload of dortios in their mouth, chew em up into a nasty mess and then open their mouths and wiggle their tongues at us.
drool out a long line of sticky spit until it ALMOST lands on our leg, then they suck it back up and do it again.
ripping loose horrible farts and fanning them towards our side of the car.
repeating everything we say in a stupid inflection.
pulling faces and clicking two pebbles together for HOURS
licking the tops of EVERY soda can. every one.
endlessly babbling the theme song from the power rangers while staring at us. always with the staring
snatching our onion rings, chewing one up and then regurgitating it onto the remainder before giving it back.
and all this while chanting "Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You! Im Not Touching You!"
until you can take no more and you punch him, and then YOU are the one who is starting shit.
thats how the UN operates. as long as the assholes keeps his aggression and offenses
just under the UN's threshold for response, you cant do shit. so they can fund hezbollah, hamas, the PLO, and the al aqusa brigade publish inflamatory propaganda, declare their intention to see israel wiped off the map ... oops, thats just a little too far, lest walk that back by claiming we just want their REGIME lifted/cleansed from the pages of time... yeah yeah, that works, the morons will buy that one machmoud! great job! or the US can fund the shit out of the mujahadeen in afghanistan, and the russian's protests go unheeded (what, we werent touching them...) and as long as stability remains untouched by any nation who is not strong enough to tell the UN to pound sand (like north korea, the soviets, turkey, or the US) or so absolutely irrelevant on the world stage as to be insignificant (like darfur) then everything is good, and the UN has saved the day once again.
so iran doesnt step over the line, they cruise right up to the line, set up camp and wait for the other guy to blink, or let their proxies nibble and nibble and nibble till the opponent makes the "first move" which is in fact just the first CULPABLE move.
