Once again, I totally am against nuclear arms... However, reality is , many states have it, some known some unknown... But this does not justifyy us sticking our nose in their business...
1. America has gone out of its way to destroy Iran's essence, and the essence of Iran.. Lets face it, Iran has a high majority of Shia Muslims, and when the Shah was placed in, the religion was opressed, religious clerics were exiled, women were not allowed to wear scarfs... This was a great injustice to the people... The people were highly opressed... Granted the revolution was a shocker to many, it had its negatives and positives, yet all revolutions have those (sadly)... Anyways, like Israel, Like America, like any other country... The majority influences the culutre of a country... Iran so happens to be a Shia Muslim country which is growing as a state, to be powerful... THIS SCARES THE SHI# out of Saudia Arabia, because Saudi is controlled by Wahabbis, who essentially rather see Shias die...
So, as you can see, not only do many Muslim contries despise Iran for its secular beliefs, but the West is also threatned by them... So, instead of people trying to respect it as a growing nation, and a well developed on, people are starting to accuse them of being an axis of evil.
STING, Obviously you haven't studied enough of the UN to realise how hypocrytical the US has been in its policies...
I really don't wanna go in debt about it, I rather give you some instances on how the US has been hypocrytical with it.
- tHe US use to support the International Court of Justice, now becuase it doesn't work in their favor (exp. Nicaragua), they aren't supporting it.
- THe UN suggested a different route in the War in IRaq, US ignored them.
- Overall, in many events, the US has shown interest when it has want to, and no interest when it has gone against them...
- THe US has led 17 Resolutions against Iraq... Where as the US has gone against double that amount of resolutions...
HOw can the US be streangthining the UN when it doesn't even feel the need to follow by their court, and resolutions... Fine, US may give a lot of money to the UN, but their is only so much money can do untill it is all made useless because the US just totally disgraces the International community for its own needs.
- Please, Israel has WMD, and they are by no means a stable state.
- THE POINT IS, IRAN HAS NOT TARGETED AMERICA BY NO MEANS, AMERICA IS TARGETING IRAN.
- SADDAM AND MOHAMMED KHATAMI ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEADERS, YOU CAN'T COMPARE THEM.... Khatami isn't a lunatic...
- Listen, free votes, right, just as the US has a backward system of voting, IRan is still developing its system... JUst because it isn't a perfect Democracy, and believe me, I don't know of any state that is, doesn't mean it is a target...
- I AM SAYING THAT IRAN IS A DEVELOPING AND POTENTIAL POWER... IF THE US CAN'T TRACK THE TERRORISM IN OUR OWN COUNTRY, HOW DO YOU EXPECT IRAN TO... LETS FACE IT, ITS FREAKEN HARD.... just b/c individuals that have ties with al' queda might have slept over in Iran, doesn't mean Iran is supporting them.. It is Al' Queda and the Taliban that have been killing Shia Muslims...
- All I'm trying to say, is that the US should cool it... and respect Iran....
- Btw, there is freedom of religion in Iran.. True, people are racist, and I despise that, but that is something that Iran has to develop... The US suffered and still suffers from this disease of prejiduce....
ONe thing that pisses me off, is that America has developed and has done some pretty nasty things in the past, if any country dares to follow the same footsteps, esp. if they are Muslim countries, well then, they are marked as an evil country, or a terrorist harboring country... GIVE ME A BREAK..
PEACE
