Hi all. I am from Iran and I would like you to know Iran: As you know Iran is a vast country and is mostly surrounded by Arab nations. Some people think Iranians are Arabs! But they are Persian in fact. Iran used to be governed with kings. Our last king sold out our country. When Iran had a king she could not develop because our betrayer king gave our oil to U.S for free! That is why U.S was good towards Iran before. So people abolished monarchy. Later Iraq invaded Iran and a severe war started that took 8 solid years. Of course U.S gave Iraq bio weapons so there are still people here suffering from horrible effects of bio weapons. Ayatollah Khomeyni made our country a democratic one. So people could choose their own president freely. At that time everywhere were ruins because of the war. Iranians are hard working people and they soon started to repair damaged cities. And now here is Iran. A great country for living. Iran became independent since she did not depend on U.S anymore. We developed in a very short time. And Iran began to produce productions that she needed. You see today even we export cars and many other high Tec electronic devices that are being designed and produced inside Iran. Iranian students are so intelligent as you see our greatest scientists are all young people under 25! Do you know why U.S is against Iran having nuclear technology? It is not because Iran is going to attack somewhere! These are all excuses to stop Iran’s unstoppable development. Because at that time Iran will be completely independent and this is exactly what U.S is afraid of. U.S wants all countries to bow her and be dependant on her. U.S uses every single word of our nice president to prove that Iran wants to attack U.S and Israel! If you study Iran’s long history you will see that she have never attacked other countries but she have defeated herself. In fact according to our religious teachings Moslems do not have the right to attack anyone. (So it is so ridiculous that some people call Moslems terrorists!!!) U.S says Iranians specially women are not free! Interesting! You would not believe me that Iranians are free much more than other nations! Thousands of strict rules in other nations even do not exist in Iran. Women? You say they are not free because they have to wear scarves! But you forget that it is a part of our culture and religion. In other nations Moslems do not have the right to wear scarves. In fact they are not free. Iran is a westernized country and western cultures conflict with ours that causes some problems: if you visit Iran you will notice that most of people wear beautiful formal cloths of every color. Because they think people in U.S do the same. But as far as I know usually people in U.S wear cloths (similar to underwear or jeans) and are very casual not formal. Iran is a very beautiful country with lots of historic places to visit. People are so warm and kind to each other. They are very hospitable. I advise you to visit Iran and get to know it yourselves not to believe what Bush says about it. If you have any other questions ask me. I will add it to details.

I've been to Iran and its a great county with kind people.
the only problem is the Government, who are repressive (not just my opinion but also of Iranians) I think the USA should look more to their own problems in stead of pointing out other countries as being "dangerous" or "terrorist supporting"
1 thing though... i think women should be able to choose if they want to wear a scarves or not (its up to them and not the government)
but i agree... people should visit Iran (and have a great time there) and see how nice the people are.

I'm sure you're right that we in the West are fed a lot of propaganda about Iran. It is certainly true that under Shah Reza Pahlavi that America and the West exploited your country.
However, I am also sure that you are also fed a lot of propaganda within your own country. Just because the Moslem faith teaches that you don't have the right to attack anyone (and I'm sure that's true) doesn't mean that all Moslem's abide by these laws. Some don't, this is a fact.
Your president has certainly said some very hostile things, particularly towards Israel. Though Israel may be to blame for some aspects of their relationship with both the Arab world and the Iranians, they have the right to exist and to security. Your president does not seem to respect that right.
Iran also persecutes its religious minorities, especially the Baha'i faith which the Moslem religious leaders see as heresy. The point is, that every one has the right to choose their own faith, or should. This right should be respected for Baha'i's as well as for Moslems.
I wish you peace and for your country as well.

i have no problem with Iran as a country. the government seems to get a little extreme by funding Hezbollah. how would you feel if we elected a president who was responsible for kidnapping and terrorizing Iranian students 30 years ago?

No one is against the innocent people in Iran, they are against the crazy dictator that supports terrorists and says things such as "I want to wipe Israel off the map." And for what reason?
Also, no one has said that Muslims are terrorists; however, most terrorists are in fact Muslim.
If you are in fact Iranian, then I suggest that you get better information on American culture and current events within the world.

Seriously your leader is craaaaaaaaazy. You're enriching uraniumn to make nuclear weapons. If you weren't going to do that, then your government would have made the deal with the russians fo nuclear energy.

It's not all your people we are worried about. It's your nutcase leader. The leader who says that the Holocaust never happened and wants to push Israel into the ocean. If you want to buy the propaganda from your leaders that they don't nuclear weapons go right ahead. I myself would prefer not to just cross my fingers and hope with your current leaders.
