Iranians are just like us

[qwerty]

Once again Ron Paul hits the nail on the head. According to the Monitor, Paul said Iran is a lot less dangerous than when the Soviets had 30,000 nuclear weapons on Cuba. We worked through diplomacy then, and we're not even close to that (danger) now, he said.

"This whole idea is war propaganda, and I do my best to talk people out of these things," he said.

In the mid-1970s, while training for submarine duty, I met Ali, an Iranian sailor. He was training for diesel submarines in the Iranian navy. Back then we sold our old diesel subs to the shah. He taught me you do not enter a man's home when the man is not home and his wife is. He taught me the words to Pink Floyd songs as he had just learned English and could understand every word. Ali made twice our pay. He had signed up for 20 years.

He hung around with American sailors. He was just like us. I respected him. One day Ali stopped coming around. I went to the Iranian barracks. They told me Ali was sent home to Iran because he hung around us too much.

I always wondered what happened to him. We should not bomb Iran. We might hit him or his family. Don't you get it? Iranians are just like us.

They are the ones running things here, too... we just have a little bit more restraint in our laws and traditions, but that is partly because we have not had to go through any radical political shifts in a short period of time, and last time we did we created the Constitution.

I don't think their "barbaric" laws have anything to do with them inherently/genetically or otherwise.

My boss is from Iran and I think she is more 'American' than most of the braindead zombies in our country.. and her father still lives there. I really think Ron Paul hit the nail on the head, once again.

Between 1978 & 1998 . over 200 people of the Baha'i religion were executed in Iran & Egypt for the religion. In Persia , the cemetaries have been destroyed , persecution of these peaceful ( though , maybe a bit socialist ) religious sect was stepped up in Iran once Ahmadiniejad was elected . Those most recently rounded up in Iran were given twenty year prison sentences . The Command Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Iran keeping tabs on them now for the President . In Egypt , it was illegal from 1960 -2009 and they were unable to get any id or leave the country. What kind of asshole bulldozes a cemetery ? I happen to know , and , I stand by my statement , they are not like me ...

I agree it has nothing to do with genetics , just beliefs , some people are more accepting of terrible acts than others ...

Much of Iran is so backwards that many people are probably unaware of who their own president is. Even if they do, they have no idea about the nuclear standoff and all this political nonsense. There are probably millions of people who just work day to day, hoping to get food on the table. I bet they never even think about the U.S. or the Great White Satan. However, if we invade, then I guarantee you that millions of people who used to be apathetic will now hate our freaking guts.

Well , some of them have figured it out , in a Country of 74 million , five million have left , thats probably enough evidence right there for any doubters.

Probably , over twenty percent have no job to go to , then if you figure out a way to make some money , the govt there can seize it .

Type in "Iranian village" or "Iran village" into Google Images. Most of these people are so isolated that they probably can't even locate the U.S. on a map, let alone follow the politics of a nuclear standoff.

Try googling " Bahaa'i cemetery in Yazd , Iran " , somewhere , there should be a nice photo of one of the cemeteries that was bulldozed. You probably cannot find any lists though of the homes they ransack , the propert they seize and demolish . Mahmoud may claim to believe in God , but he is confused .

You're making the mistake of conflating their government with the people.

I agree .Its like when Bob scheifer tried to make it appear that Ron was saying you and i are responsible for the 9/11 attacks,well no .The policies are government has in place encouraged them to happen.J

ust like the majority of Iranians arent consumed with a vengeful hatred towards Israel and the US.There just like you and me in that they dont care about what other countries do ,they just want to be left alone and enjoy there lives with there friends and families.The ones in power that make the rules are the monsters,just like here.
