First, I know that the situation in Iran is not perfectand there can never be full freedom, otherwise it will be like the “creative anarchy” that Mr. Ramsfield created in Iraq,,, in addition, it is shame for me to cooperate with the an atrocious and brutal regime (like the American one) against my own country… The Iranian internal problems should be discussed and solved internally and any American or zionist intervention will never bring prosperity nor import “human rights” for the Iranians…

It might take some time to improve in Iran as it is a semi democratic country that have periodic elections … but the real problem lies in the feudal autocratic arab regimes that are backed by the Americans, how can we change in such regimes while they are sooo backward and supported by the Americn police of the world?

It seems that it is hard for me to convince you and my answers fall in a different realm than your discourse and way o thinking, however, Let me ask you some questions that I got tired of giving answers, and I hope your answers would enlighten my dark mintality and open spacious horizon for my primitive way of thinking:

1. Why that USA ad the West empowered the Racist South Africa (with nuclear energy ) when it was racist and “dispowered” it when it became democratic- Te same question can be asked of Iran while the Shah reign and after the Islamic revolution-

2. Do you think that the West and the USA pay any attention to “human rights” in Iran or care for the Iranians, other than using them to occupy the region and control the oil resources?

3. Why the USA regime support green Iranians while supporting feudal, backward and autocratic regimes like the Saudi one and also support, back and finance the zionist occupation that suppress a whole people !!!

notice that I am not talking of conspiracy theory but explicit, clear and open policies that no one can deny or turn a bind eye of !!

An Iran that acquires a nuclear arsenal would be a disaster for the for the region, for the people of Iran, and for the world at large.

The Iranian regime does not enjoy the legitimacy of its people, of the nations of the region, and of the international community. Weapons of mass destruction do not belong in the hands of illegitimate regimes which are hell-bent on bringing about chaos.

An Iranian stockpile of nuclear weapons would result in tragic consequences: a regional nuclear arms race, a security blanket for terrorist groups to do as they wish, a further suppression of the Iranian people, a threat to the free flow of oil with its resulting economic doom, and the possibility of nuclear weapons coming into the hand of terrorists. All in all, a good recipe for World War III.

The writing is on the the wall, as it was in World War II. Iran, under the current regime, must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. Nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, on the other hand, could be negotiated.

Do you go on these anti-everything US/Israel rants just for attention, or do you just simply like antagonizing?

The Iranian people have made it clear that they don’t want nor care about nuclear energy. We’ve all made these points clear to you in various Iran posts, yet you continue to spit back with your typical U.S./Israel conspiracy theories.

Secondly, I don’t know you would use an interview with a lefty wannabe pseudo-intellectual like Chomsky.

Chomsky thinks that the U.S. is the only one pushing for Iran to stop its nuclear program, yet countries like Italy, France, Germany, and others have already made it clear that a nuclear Iran is unnaceptable.

I guess I’m going to have to state this again—

1.) The Ahmadinejad government has shown its harsh stance with the West, and has even mentioned ‘speeding up’ the end times process to bring forth the 12th imam (can’t do so without creating as much chaos and violence as possible). It is highly unlikely that the nuclear program is just for civilian energy purposes.

2.) The IRI supports terrorism (politically driven attacks on civilians to instill fear on those the perpetrators are in conflict with) i.e. proxies in Iraq, Hamas, Hezbollah etc. Meaning, if Iran were to have a bomb, it is possible that they would supply these groups with one to “Wipe Israel off the map”.

3.) A nuclear Iran would not only be a threat to itself, but those nations around it. It would cause other gulf or middle east nations to follow suit and develop nuclear weapons to protect against the only Shiite power in the region.

I understand your belief that the Iranian people should be self-sufficient, and have a right to develop certain technologies, but not under a fanatical,medieval government like this.

Your forgetting that the USA and other European nations are not against Iran developing nuclear energy and only that, there claims is that Iran is also covertly trying to build a nuclear weapons facility. That small facility that was recently revealed was clearly shown to be to small to be used for energy purposes.

Do you want the Iranians to enjoy the American “democracy” like the Iraqis are enjoying it very much now? What are the Americans doing in Afghanistan other than killing children in the name of “human rights” ???

Iran got the right for self development and nuclear energy away and out of the American hypocrisy that is devastating the region in the name of their civilization of death !!!

You have made some very poor observations when you write this post.

the false American propaganda of “Human rights” and “democracy”.

You dont seem to notice that it is the Iranian people who want human rights and many of them want democracy too. This is not a surprise when Khamenei and other leaders are raping, torturing and killing them, and when elections are not run fairly. Why do you think human rights are American propaganda rather than an international idea that almost everyone wants? Dont you want human rights?

the great American intellectual Prof. Naom Chomsky

You also seem not to notice that Chomsy is a great intelectual in languages but very few people think his political views make sense. Its easy to call someone a “great intelectual” just because they share your views.
