Dear American Pigdog Infidel,

We are great, thanks for asking. We will have a nuclear weapon soon and you can kiss our Persian asses for real then.

Love,

Ayatollah Sheik Yerbouti

Hopefully Obama can shake the world view that unless you have nukes, you aren't going to be treated as a serious player.

Interesting idea if all Iran cares about is the US or international standing. I think nuclear Pakistan and nuclear Israel have a little more relevance to them, though.

Interesting play. Appealing to the Iranian people by de-mystifying Americans might play well with them, especially if the Iranian hardline leadership continues to go "ZOMG DEATH TO AMERICA"

I'm torn on this one.

Not at all. I will judge him on his acts, not his words or party affiliation. Things like telling the House Dems to take the STD stuff out of the "stimulus" bill is worthy of applause.

I could not disagree more. I think it was an unnecessary concession that brought no additional votes to the table. Now, if you are talking about the amount of money, I will listen to that line of thinking, but other than that I don't think we are going to agree on that point.

America has a loooot of sway with both countries. We (NATO in general) needs to invest in Pakistan to counter the huge Chinese influence there. Assurances that India will never be allowed to invade would go a long way.

There's nothing to be torn about. Young Iranians chafe at the rule of the Islamic Sharia law, being supportive and investing in Iran's future will net a powerful regional ally. We could start by helping them get Nuclear reactors up and running, and giving assurances that the Israelis would not be allowed to bomb them.

Meh, sneaking it through on a bill for stimulating the economy was a little on the sly.

There does need to be a national dialogue on birth control and abortion, in America and Canada. The whole "Abstinence Only" movement needs to be brutally quashed before it spreads any further at the local church level. Yeah, its nice to delude yourself into thinking your 14 year old daughter doesn't need to hear about condoms, but teens have been farking since time immemorial, and getting STDs to prove it.

Hmm, Iran, Abortions, Israel, Pakistan and Democrats vs Repubs. This will be a fun thread.

If you do a poll and it shows that the majority of Americans want their kids to know what a condom looks like, and the Republicans scream and howl every time that you bring up legislation to force schools to teach that information... then the Democrats could really drive home that the GOP has completely sailed off into loopy-tunes land and is ignoring their base*.

We've heard the stories of Iran's liberal youth since the Islamic Revolution. All it goes to show is Iranian young people are no different than young people anywhere.


Iranian youth go through a rebellious phrase, an idealistic phase, and then they turn into their parents, which in Iran's case is "ZOMG DEATH TO TEH GAYS AND INFIDELS", "PERSIANS TRUE MUSLIMS!!!1111ELEVEN IRAN MORE HARDCORE MUSLIM THAN TEH ARABS IN CONTROL OF MECCA!"

Yeah, it's going to take a glass parking lot or an Obamiracle to break that cycle. Persians are too full of fail to it on their own.

There are plenty of middle-aged liberal-to-moderate Iranians leftover from the Revolution who simply remain quiet because they've either lost hope or are afraid of oppression.

I just said it helps me forget about it. For now. I really just throw that out there to let any hardcore neocons and KOStards know that they're wasting time picking a partisan fight with me. I'm pretty pissed at Obama for the stimulus, but happy that he is diplomatically engaging Iran, and think that a sensible foreign policy will be a nice change for us.

Yes I said sensible. Call these leaders out for what they are. Let the world see them for the hypocrites and liars they are. You cannot do that with preconditions for negotiations, or other childish games like that. Ignoring our enemies almost always fails (exception: Libya). The status quo cannot continue like this forever.
