I have to admit..... I'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED!
Oh my God, I feel like I don't know anything about the world. When I think of Iran I honestly thought of a slightly more industrialized Iraq (before it got bombed), but Iran is beautiful! Ugh. It's a real shame we're going to kill them because they won't take our $ anymore.
Someone hug me.![]()
I'm thinking that there is going to need to be a better argument not to bomb Iran then "it's sooooo purdy and the women are hot!". If that is the best we can do the bombs will be falling in no time. The way these pictures are presented here is propaganda that is no better than what the Neocons use. How about some substantive reasons not to bomb Iran. I know there are plenty.
Nah, just getting a bit tired of seeing savage murder and medieval brutality "talked up" like it was Disneyland here on the Ron Paul forums. A Purdey fowling piece goes for $25,000 and has exquisite inlaid engraving on the receiver and barrel, but it can still kill you just as dead as that $150 Mossberg 500 you got at Wal Mart.
Iraq (Baghdad) was a vibrant flourishing city too before the U.S. destroyed it!!!
When was the last time that the US state executed somebody for being gay? For speaking out at a political rally? For being a mule for drug smugglers? I'm quite sure you can rattle off those statistics for me, so snap to it.
(I WILL give full marks for accuracy in user names in your case).
You are missing the point.
The point is that Iran has actual human beings that like the same things Americans do.
They will eventually move away from the barbarism. But their embracing western culture is not helped when they are being labelled as terrorists and bombed. That only increases the divide and creates hatred.
Nobody has bombed Iran. Yet.
So they're hanging gays and little girls out of frustration because somebody called them terrorist on teh Intrawebs? Sorry, but its the 21st Century, not the 12th. Yes they are human beings, but the ruling class and the culture there should start ACTING like human beings before I can even consider affording them that courtesy.

So they are "lesser beings" because they stay true to their religion and a culture that is thousands of years old?
Lets "purify" them the same way we did the American Indians.

The first time I see anybody in the Bush Administration seriously advocate interring the Iranian people on a reservation or giving them smallpox-infected blankets, then I'll revisit this one.

I DO however call barbarism, well, barbarism. And hanging little girls by the neck until they are dead for "crimes against chastity" is barbarism.
