Wow, that's some real fancy thinkin' and vocabulary you got there. I bet you got a college degree to come up with that one.

Still, it's in the best interests of both the Iranian people, the region and the west.

Though I'm sure if there is a revolution or heavy reform, the Iranians won't close relations with venezuela.

OPEC relations have been maintained through regime change in 79, and I'm sure it will be the same now.

Dealing in absolutes is getting us in some SERIOUS trouble... Iran is "evil" so we can't talk to them.

It's not like their people are evil, or you have to do anything you see as propping their regime up. Talk is cheap as they say.

Hmmm... attempt to defuse flamewar with joke: failed. Well, on Fark I guess it is like using a squirt gun on the Hindenburg.

You mention it in EVERY thread on Iran. Might be getting a bit stale.

The the obviously British Submitter:

When England actually does something about Iran, you can bash us for not doing anything. Until then, STFU and GBTW.

That's rich, bashing our biggest ally in the War on Terror.

wow, anybody remember when bush was going to be a placeholder president, not too bright a guy and everything was well with the world so we all just expected him to coast along on the good things everyone had going.

the clusterfark we're in today is beyond science fiction, if i'd read a book 6 years ago about how it would be today i'd laugh and write it off as fancyfull claptrap.

If it makes you feel good, I really don't care what happens in here in Venezuela either.

It's also not like they are innocents crushed under the boot of Islamic Revolutionary thought since 1980, just one fleeting student revolt away from a coup like the other side portrays.

That's what purpose Bush serves!

He's assured us another 10 years of bad Tom Clancy novels.

You are so awesome for saying the same thing in every thread. You truly are educating the community and people don't just jerk with you every time. Not at all.

I wish you lived at least one year in Iran post revolution before you make a statement like that.

Ooh don't call a Persian an Arab.

Meh. It was a pretty good school when I was there. At least I wasn't in Gainesville.

You Iranian expats are worse than the farking Cubans.

Yeah, I'm sure it was just an oversight to put the classic 'OH NOES LIBRUL NOOZ !!11!" boogeymen first. You're not fooling anyone, you know.

Um, you've got the wrong post. I don't speak leet.

Maybe if ignorant farkers quit posting this blatantly incorrect information about the Iranian people he wouldn't have to.
Do you have a freaking problem with the truth?

You can talk to my relatives that still live there and they will say the same thing.

Please, you have no idea what it's like to live in Iran, and you're talking like you know everything. Live a month in Iran then get back to me about what you think it's like.

No, this thread isn't soaring it's sinking. If anything it would be like putting a bicycle tire patch on the Titanic.

Uncle Bester: Well, you won't be joking when the MANDATORY INTERIOR DESIGN LAWS ARE PASSED right after they TAKE UR GUNZ.

I don't have any guns. I can keep my swords though, right?

I LOVE when folks claim other govmts are untrustworthy. Ask Diem how promises made to him worked out. Or Noriega, or ,hell, Saddam, or the democratically elected leader of Iran from 35 years ago who we helped depose to prop up the Shaw who was such an evil bastard his people rose up and, hey, here we are.

bwahaha

calling Iranians Arabs is like calling Canadians South Americans.

Jesus christ.....

BoozePenguin: calling Iranians Arabs is like calling Canadians South Americans.

Worse, because south americans didn't ruin Canada, slaughter Canadians, rape Canadians or force a bloody religion on Canadians.

That's right. I forgot that Iran is such a great nation and the U.S is shiat.

Wait, what?

You do realize that if this was reversed, you wouldn't even be allowed to READ this article in Iran, right?

Persepolis: Worse, because south americans didn't ruin Canada, slaughter Canadians, rape Canadians or force a bloody religion on Canadians.

Except for hockey...

billdubsbud

All governments are untrustworthy. They are all run by power hungry politicians.

Trusting the Iranian administration is as stupid as trusting any other politicians. They are all looking to expand influence and power...

dave2198: I forgot that Iran is such a great nation and the U.S is shiat.

Who's saying that?

dave2198: You do realize that if this was reversed, you wouldn't even be allowed to READ this article in Iran, right?

Yep. But in the USA, you're allowed to miss the point as badly as you did there. :D

with outside aide after the Shah stopped playing ball oil wise. *cough cough*

Persepolis

"Worse, because south americans didn't ruin Canada, slaughter Canadians, rape Canadians or force a bloody religion on Canadians."

well no, they don't... they tend to immigrate here and get jobs. We tend to attract the skilled ones too. Psychologists and Doctors :P

some janitors too... but we need them just as much.

Who knows how things might have been if bush wasn't such a dumbass.

on the one hand you can't really trust the iranians, or the the north koreans for that matter. on the other hand ignoring the problem is retarded.
I think the best way to judge the effectiveness of w's approach is to simply look at the results...yeah, bush sucks.

I didn't miss anything. I wasn't responding to any specific post here. I was just wondering why we're trying to paint Iran as this olive-branch-offering nation all of a sudden.

They offer peace to get on CNN.

billdubsbud: who we helped depose to prop up the Shaw who was such an evil bastard his people rose up and, hey, here we are.

Now you see why I usually buy groceries at Stop & Shop. Shaw's evil...

Persepolis: You can talk to my relatives that still live there and they will say the same thing.

Then DO SOMETHING.

It has been 26 years. There has been no serious threat of overthrow since then.

My relatives had the balls to stand up to a much more powerful bully here, and here. Perhaps it is time to admit that however bad they are, the Islamic Revolutionary government of Iran is the legit government recognized and backed by a majority of the people.

Should I start holding my breath for the student/exile revolt yet? Because I turned blue the last time the CIA told us that tale in Iraq.

dave2198: They offer peace to get on CNN.

Maybe they didn't have a flight suit handy.

Yeah, that's why we were sewing him up at the Cleveland Clinic in the 70's.

I refuse to believe that this administration could have

1. Ignored the counsel of their secretary of state
2. belligerently believed in their own rhetoric, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary AND
3. rejected any proposals out of hand with a dismissal as simple minded as "we don't negotiate with evil."

there is simply no evidence that this group of leaders would do such a thing.

This is fark.

hahah...luckily I haven't had a chance to decorate much since moving in...too much work. Soon, though, I will work on my affront to taste :D

bleh.

Someone give me a reason to respect Iran. Just one will do.
